I participated only at Second Reading of this Bill. I jumped up once to remember a noble Lord on the Cross Benches who had had prison service and became the penal expert in the House, but other than that, I have not intervened. I have not listened to all the debates, but this has been an interesting five days, with a lot of points made. The firm congratulations should go to my noble friend the Lord Privy Seal, who patiently dealt with one amendment after another. She did not make the point—which I think she could have—that most of the amendments fell well outside the Long Title of the Bill.
