Does the right hon. and learned Gentleman agree that the phrasing in amendment 94, where it says""the Secretary of State is satisfied""
is, in fact, a subjective test? If it said "beyond a reasonable doubt" or "reasonably satisfied", it would make it an objective test, which would make it harder. A judge looking at the certification could say, "Well the Secretary of State is satisfied—goodness knows why he was, but he was genuinely satisfied."
