Lords ChamberMy Lords, I remind the Committee that the amendment was moved by the noble Lord, Lord Laird.
My Lords, I thank the Minister and all noble Lords who took part in the debate. I was particularly interested in the remarks of the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale. I will consider these matters carefully and may return to them on a different occasion but I propose to withdraw the amendment at this stage.
