Coroners and Justice Bill

My thanks go to all noble Lords who have spoken in support of the amendments, but particularly to the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, because he is the original author of the amendments. I also repeat my thanks again to the Government but should like to emphasise the concerns that we all still have. We would very much like to take up the Minister’s offer of discussing this at length. It would be nice if, during the Summer Recess, he and his officials could come up with an extremely skilful legal definition of those who are subject to the law—even those who are short-stayers, but necessarily deliberate short-stayers. It would be rather unfortunate if there were a definition which was still sufficiently loose for there to be yet more loopholes, however small they might be, as has been said by my noble friend Lord Hannay. It would be very nice if those loopholes could be closed once and for all. I thank the Minister and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 175 withdrawn. Amendment 176 not moved. Amendment 177 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List. Schedule 10 : Encouraging or assisting suicide: providers of information society services Amendments 177A to 177D not moved. Schedule 10 agreed. Clauses 52 and 53 agreed. Clauses 54 to 58 agreed. Schedule 11 agreed. Clause 59 agreed. Amendment 177DA not moved.
