I am slightly embarrassed because I seem to be the right hon. Gentleman's only friend in this place on this occasion. It is important that the House should know what is meant by the phrase, "the court is satisfied". I cannot help feeling that the House would be much happier if it thought that the court had to be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt. If he would include that provision in the Bill, I suspect that he might get a lot more consent and support than he is getting at the moment.
