Policing and Crime Bill

Although there are three distinct groups on the Marshalled List, it has been helpful to hear the Government’s conclusion to the debate even before we get to Amendment 79. I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, for his support in that conclusion, which is that we need to have a review. I think that will speed up our debate on Amendment 79. I appreciate that he thinks that 12 months is too short and that three years would be a better time period. I heard what the Minister said, that if the injunctions can last two years then, again, 12 months would be too short. The Government have been helpful with their own amendments because at least they give a firm limit, which is one of the things that we were worried about—the fact that these were so open-ended. As the Government have promised to come back with something on Amendment 79, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 67 withdrawn. Amendments 68 and 69 not moved. Clause 36 : Contents of injunctions: supplemental Amendments 70 to 78 Clause 36 : Contents of injunctions: supplemental Amendments 70 to 78 Moved by
