I hope it reassures the noble Lord, Lord Hogan-Howe, that, should the review deem action necessary, the Government could take that action quickly through statutory instruments. Given the action that the Government have taken, given that we have listened to the noble Lords, Lord Hogan-Howe and Lord Paddick, and others who have made the case for special constables, and given the importance of taking a holistic approach to reviewing the list of public duties, I ask the noble Lord to withdraw Amendment 42 and hope he will do so.
