As the noble Lord says, it brings into force an amended Section 30. The point I was making is that the Government have never brought in Section 30, six years after passing the 2002 Act. Much the same is happening in the Criminal Justice Bill. It is an extraordinary way of cluttering up the statute book with various new clauses that are not brought into effect and which the Government set about repealing a few years later.
