I am not equipped to go into the fine detail about that—unlike my right hon. Friend the Minister for Policing, Crime and Counter-Terrorism, who will be equipped to do just that in Committee—but as hon.

Since those rulings were made three or four years ago, we have been looking seriously at replacing those tools with domestic violence protection orders.
