But with respect, Mr. McLeish, you say it's a decision for the government to make. The government has made a decision and your organization has waded into it, saying that it is the wrong decision, saying that it should be mandatory, which implies penalties. It's incumbent on your organization, then, to say what those penalties should be. Which penalties are acceptable--the threat of jail time, the threat of fines--for not wanting to answer how much housework you did last week?
