The Minister said that the NPCC would review in May the guidance that was published last summer. It is reasonable for us to see how the correspondence that the Policing Minister has had and will continue to have translates into practice, but as he and police forces will have heard, this is being watched by a growing number of noble Lords, businesses and organisations which are concerned about it. If we do not see the change in behaviour from police forces that we would like in this area, the growing band of noble Lords who are interested in this will seek further legislative opportunities—I hope, with the continued support of the Government.
