Counter-Terrorism Bill (Programme) (No. 2)

This opens up other areas. As I said earlier, not just for the process but for the Crown court judge concerned, it could be over-burdensome and over-time consuming for something that should be relatively straightforward. We quite deliberately say—this was another element on my road of discovery—““justice of the peace”” rather than ““magistrate””, because apparently a justice of the peace is a magistrate available 24 hours a day rather than otherwise. My hon. Friend has made a fair point in the sense that, for the sake of cohesion, the draft changes to the PACE code, new clauses 18 and 19 and amendment No. 57 hang together. Those measures have been offered as one package, and they should be passed by this House in those terms. If we were to go further in the direction of new clause 4 towards a different model of judicial oversight, rather than the magistracy model, it would be a matter for the other place.
