Rereading my undergrad dissertation notes, and I came across this gem from an interview with Robert Carr, the Tory Secretary of State for Employment in the early 1970s, given years later about the Industrial Relations Act:

I had to have a brief in order to understand the purpose of the clause I was talking about. So it was complex to me, one of its main authors. What it seemed like to other people I dread to think.
