Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

No, I am not going to give way. I absolutely agree with what the hon. Member for Cambridge (David Howarth) has just said. The phrase "exceptional cases"—I am sorry, Sir Nicholas, if I slightly misled the Committee when I used the phrase "exceptional circumstances"—makes it even more difficult for the commission to define what it should look at and what it should not. Surely the logical thing to do is to remove this phrase and let the commission decide, which is what it is there for.
