For that reason, although I have absolutely no questions about the motivations of those who put these amendments forward, I hope we can stick to what is in the Bill, rather than making the changes they propose. I say that because I hope that most venues in the band between 200 and 300 people—or 200 and 500; whichever of the preferred Conservative amendments they choose—will be doing this anyway, or they will recognise the sense of doing it. This Bill is about proportionality: it recognises that more intense measures will be necessary for some premises or events rather than others.
