I am sorry to interrupt the noble Baroness. The Minister seems to be suggesting that this offence is going to be focused on the most egregious cases, but surely that is not a decision for government; that is a decision for the Crown Prosecution Service. Are the Government therefore giving instructions to the independent Crown Prosecution Service on which cases should be prosecuted and which cases should not?
