My Lords, I thank my noble friend for his comments on visa penalties and for the debate. I found what he said about trade reassuring on sovereignty. I am less happy on the application of CRaG, because of course that gives us a vote only on a whole trade agreement. It is the provisions on visas or immigration that worry me. If a favourable trade agreement were presented to Parliament, obviously Parliament would not want to vote against that, so we have a little problem. It is late; perhaps I can reflect further on the matter in the coming weeks before we come back on Report. I thank my noble friend for his answer, and beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
