I see no reason why we would not adopt an approach similar to that which we have taken previously. I have not consider that exact point, and I would need to look at the hon. Gentleman's amendments, but he might recall that—this is my recollection—we made a distinction between civil service roles that clearly require a nationality qualification, because they are sufficiently high-ranking or linked to security or defence, and those that do not. That seems to be a sensible way to proceed, and I look forward to seeing his amendments in due course.
