No, indeed—I will not.
There are two separate strands running in the amendments. First, there are the amendments that the Scottish Government drafted, which were sent to the Lord Speaker by the First Minister at the weekend. They were in two sets. There is a set that allows clause 11 to be removed, and there is a set that creates circumstances in which the section 30 and section 63 orders would apply. It is the second set that has been tabled by Lord Hope and Lord Mackay. We know, and I accept, that the amendments are very technical. Essentially, they do the second job.
There is another set of amendments, tabled under a variety of names. Dafydd Wigley is a supporter of some. They have different effects. They do not do the full job, but they help to take the issue a bit further forward. For example, one of them, which I think has the support of Jim Wallace and David Steel—certainly, it has the support of Jim Wallace and Dafydd Wigley, and I think David Steel will support it too—is to do with nothing coming into effect until it has been accepted by the devolved Parliaments. In other words, it would create space for further negotiation until we were happy with the proposal concerned, and we would then be asked to vote on it. Those are helpful amendments. There are also a variety of other amendments.
We do not have anybody in the House of Lords, which is entirely right and proper and is the approach that we think that we should take. As we did with the Welsh Government on the previous such occasion, we have been putting forward ideas and amendments. Amending bills, as everybody in this room knows, is a technical exercise, and it is useful to get lawyers and others engaged in it. We have been helping with that, and we have been having a dialogue about it. That has been very helpful.
I very much respect Lord Hope and Lord Mackay. They are distinguished lawyers, and they understand things far better than I understand them. They have approached the matter from a legal perspective, not from a political perspective, and they have been helpful.
