My Lords, will the Minister clarify one point? Nobody as I have heard it has suggested that we should breach the third-country rule; its importance has been emphasised in the most authoritative way. Would he confirm, however, that there would be no breach of the rule, or breach of convention...

My Lords, the Minister is always elegant in defending the indefensible. Does she not agree that this is now clearly an unequal treaty—unequal in substance because it deprives British citizens but not American citizens of some of their existing rights; and unequal in process because, whereas the Government tumbled over themselves to bring the treaty into effect, the United States Senate, as the Minister has acknowledged, is still sitting on its hands? Would it not be better to reverse the Order in Council and negotiate a treaty with the United States that is equal in substance as between the rights of our citizens and equal in process, in that it would come into effect when both sides were satisfied with it?
