My hon. and learned Friend is making a powerful case. Under clause 8(6), one of IPSA's first duties is to try to work out the comprehensive muddle that the Bill is making of the situation. It would have to prepare a statement""with the agreement of the Speaker's Committee on the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority""
about how it, the commissioner, the Standards and Privileges Committee and other authorities could make sense of this complete jumble. Does that not prove that, even according to the Government's own words, the thing is a comprehensive mess?
