I hope that my noble friend will forgive me for breaking into her remarks but I find it hard to understand why that encompasses the words ““or otherwise support””, given the arguments that have been made. I do not believe that the noble Lords on the Cross Benches, or I, are for one moment arguing that there should not be an Act of Parliament. The issue is about the run-up to the draft decision that Parliament will make, and whether that run-up should include a proper debate involving Ministers of the Crown.
