My Lords, I, too, support the amendment. The noble Lord, Lord Pannick, talked about various groups of people who want to see the word "fair" included in the Bill. Members of Parliament in the other House should have that in the Bill. It is important. There are a whole lot of things in Clause 7 about what IPSA must do and what the procedures must be, but the most important procedure of all is fairness in the way that IPSA carries out its duties.
