Serious Crime Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for her explanation, but she will have noted the concern of almost all the noble Lords who spoke. Our aim was to tease out as much information as we could from the Minister; I hope that she will reflect on today’s debate, which has taken just over an hour. We on this side are uncomfortable with what we have heard so far, but there will be an opportunity to come back to this matter on Report. I hope that that will be a more challenging time for the Minister. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
