It is good to hear that no Committee member would expect that result. I wonder whether the hon. Gentleman has the agreement of all Opposition Members on that, including the hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster, who has come up with some interesting views in Committee.

I am more than happy to look over the clause with my officials to check that it says what I believe it to say, and that a downward variation cannot arise.
