I am extremely sorry to hear the hon. and learned Gentleman say that, because the clause will provide a much-needed reform. I have already tried to explain to him why all manner of mischief that he is so worried about will not take place. I am sorry that he has so little trust in the British electorate. I am also sorry that the Liberals have absolutely no interest in the debate, but there we are.
It is worth taking a few minutes to spell out why the clause is necessary. [Hon. Members: "Oh no!"] Oh yes, oh yes!
