I note there's no definition of 'covert' in the bill and I don't recall whether there's any discussion of it in the EM either. I wonder whether a court would have the same view of 'covert' as you've just explained and whether perhaps a court would even look at this debate, read what you have said and take that into account in the event of a prosecution.
