If the House is called on to vote, I hope that we will recognise that this is just about asking those responsible for premises who are not being responsible to take the fairly simple sets of measures that are expected in the lower tier. As for the higher tier, I am not sure whether we will debate the amendment that would move the higher-tier threshold from 800 people to 1,000, but, again, it is a case of asking, “What is the appetite for risk?” We want the people who organise events to be responsible. In Committee, the noble Lord, Lord De Mauley, discussed all the arrangements that he personally was involved in to make sure that events were safe. That is what we want all people organising events to do; those are the considerations that we want to make sure happen.
