Serious Crime Bill [HL]

I am most grateful to the noble Baroness for her very careful explanation. I am glad that I am beyond the stage of having to sum up to a jury on offences of this kind. I shall study what she has said, fortified as she is by the detailed arguments that the Law Commission has set out in its latest report. I expect that I shall be able to accept her reasoning. For the moment, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
