He was very forceful on that one point.

Now, Lucy, just to bring the story a bit up to date, two things happened.

The deal came into force in April this year.

At that time, we still had very little in the way of detail.

After the deal came into force, the government published some of the headline facts and figures around it.

And they in themselves are pretty worrying.

Bear in mind, the government pushed this deal through without presenting it to Parliament.

There was no debate between MPs.

There were no awkward backbenchers.

There were no caveats from the House of Lords.

None of that.

No readings.

They rubber stamped it basically into law.

And we only had our first debate on it in Parliament this week.
