My hon. Friend is making an interesting speech, but is not the flaw in the argument that he is developing that if the promoters say, "Well, the Government are going to consult, so we don't need to carry over," they will, in effect, have to go back to square one? If they decide that they want legislation that goes beyond what the Government eventually propose, they will have to start all over again. Would not the promoters' argument therefore be that they want the carry-over motions in order to keep their options open?
