Canterbury City Council Bill

If I did know that, I think that I would have been immodest enough to have said so. I do not know it. I shall put a further point to my hon. Friend—perhaps rhetorically, as he might not wish to intervene on me again. If his interpretation is correct—and according to my understanding of the consultation paper—this amendment to the law has already been made. So perhaps the clause is redundant even now. We seem to have a piece of legislation before the House, including a provision in clause 4, that, on the admission of the sponsor of the Bill, is already incompatible with European Union law. That is bizarre. Perhaps my hon. Friend would like to offer up an amendment for our consideration when the Bills reach the other place, if indeed that is their destination.
