You have heard that the despatch box commitments have already been given, and what was given there is some detail of exactly what is meant by the kind of constitutional interpretation that they were thinking of. So, it's mainly changing the name of an organisation—if they were going to do that in England, that they'd change the name. So, they gave some examples, and that's the whole point of getting that despatch box commitment, because then you can hold them to account, because it's been said on the floor of the house, and you've got something to appeal against, effectively. So, I take your point, that just because you get a commitment from this Government, who knows what Government there may be in future, but you can appeal, as the Member will know, to what is said on the floor of the house to get a better sense of what is meant by the kind of conditions around those agreements.
