Can you see any reason—I struggle to see one—as to why there should be divergence?

I am very much in favour of doing things differently in different parts of the United Kingdom, provided that there is a substantial reason that allows us to understand why that is necessary. That reason is what I was trying to get at.

How will the code of conduct be put together? Setting aside the differences in the process, what will that consist of and how would it be enforced, given the discussion that you had with the convener in relation to how difficult the whole area of enforcement is?

Can you give us some of those examples? You said that there were clear examples.

But in Scotland, it will be the actual campaign groups.

Right.

How can that be enforced, though?

You have covered the matter pretty well, convener.

It will not even take a minute.

Given the degree of complexity in electoral law, have we missed a trick with the bill? Could we have done something far more fundamental to simplify the code for elections?

Some decent questions, now! [Laughter.]
