We had an important debate on these amendments in Committee, and I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Russell, and the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, for joining me in making that the case and thank the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer, for her thoughtful and supportive response from the Liberal Democrat Benches. I also thank the Minister for her engagement since then, including, most recently, two meetings that the Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls Minister, Jess Phillips, also attended. I appreciate those conversations and believe that they are moving in the right direction.
