Serious Crime Bill [HL]

I should like to ask the Minister a question. She has said, by reference to Clause 17, that it is open to the person who is the subject of the order to make an application for a variation to it. But Clause 17(4) states that: "““The court must not entertain an application by the person who is the subject of the order unless it considers that there has been a change of circumstances affecting the order””." From that it rather looks as though the use of ““entertain”” means that it may not give a hearing to such an application until the court itself is satisfied that there has been a change of circumstances. This is not quite as straightforward as I understand the noble Baroness to say and I wonder whether the noble Lord who has moved the amendment, and who has been very courteous in allowing me to intervene, would think it right to endorse this question.
