Coroners and Justice Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. I am having some difficulty in understanding this. I am not a criminal lawyer, but the Minister on the one hand says that the word "follow" is a bit more strict than the words "have regard to"; but he says that the discretion of the judge is equally broad. I just do not understand it.
