Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

The hon. Gentleman has not mentioned proposed new section (1A)(b) of new clause 8, which uses the phrase"““this was or ought to have been apparent to the person using such force.””" Does he agree that the problem is that that leaves in place the very problem that arose from the Martin case? The central problem with the Court of Appeal judgment was that it said that a mistaken belief that danger was threatened could be judged subjectively, but that a real danger had to be assessed objectively, using the criterion of reasonableness. New clause 8 does not deal with that problem at all.
