Thank you, Stewart, for giving way. It is the second time that you have given way to me — or that I have interrupted you — today. The Member has accepted that amendment No 10 is certainly an improvement on what we had been advised. Does he agree that it still gives the inquiry chair and panel some flexibility? If it ascertains that there is reluctance to make what it sees as appropriate redress, there may be an aspect of "compellability", without calling it that; in other words, that it can tell an institution to revise its offer and come back again?
