Offender Management Bill

My Lords, without wishing to alarm the Minister, I am using this opportunity simply to give advance notice that I shall not move Amendment No. 23. Having had a rather lengthy day, with much to face on this Bill, I suspect that noble Lords may be relieved at that. Although the reduction of reoffending is central to this Bill, Ido not think that my amendment, which refersto reoffending targets, is central; therefore, I am prepared not to cover that. I hope that that might assist us to finish business tonight at a reasonable hour. On Question, amendment agreed to.
