I would like to pose a number of questions to the Minister, which I hope he can respond to either in his speech or at a later date. Does he agree with Napo and the POA that, with such a huge expansion of electronic monitoring envisaged by the Bill, the safeguards set out in new clause 2 are sorely needed? Does he also agree that we urgently need a full debate about whether we want the public or the private sector in operational control of electronic tagging?
