I return to the Minister’s point, which he made off the cuff, understandably, and without looking at his text. He said that in his recollection the schedule says that at least one of the members of IPSA must be a person who has been but is no longer a Member of the House of Commons, it actually says "one of the members". I suppose that it is intended to make a distinction with the preceding sub-paragraphs, which say that "at least" one of the members must be a person who has held high judicial office, and that "at least" one of the members must be a person who is qualified under Schedule 3, and so on. A distinction seems to be intended there, and the Minister might like to look at that and clear it up when convenient.
