I consider that it is a matter of inadequate draftsmanship of words when we resort to use of the word "thing".
I cannot help feeling that that is a pity, although this clause represents my draftsmanship.
It would probably be bad draftsmanship to add an "etcetera".
I certainly do not confuse parliamentary draftsmanship with a clear definition.
Therefore, while in common sense terms what we were saying made sense, in parliamentary draftsmanship terms it did not.
That we occasionally encounter these questions of draftsmanship seems to be unavoidable.
I cannot think it is beyond the resources of draftsmanship to see that both these holes are stopped, and that both courses are prevented.
What on earth is the meaning of draftsmanship of that kind?
