Well, may I thank you for the question? It’s true to say that there is a sufficient opportunity here to create a sustainable constitutional settlement. This Bill goes some of the way towards that, but not the whole way. To me, what’s important is that the United Kingdom Government accepts that there are constitutional issues that need to be settled. As I said earlier, I will write to the Secretary of State. I will make sure that the leaders of this house see that letter, and of course any response. It’s important that Members know what the journey of the negotiations over the next few weeks, given that the timetable is going to be very short.
