Serious Crime Bill [HL]

I hope that I made it clear that I am trying to find out not just the level of seriousness expected but why the Government think that those offences—in this case, environmental offences—cannot be dealt with properly by existing criminal offences. Why are they being left to be dealt with according to the civil burden of proof used in serious crime prevention orders? I hope that he will address that underlying question.
