This important amendment has drawn support both outside Parliament, from technical experts, police services and Labour politicians, and from Members of this House and the other place. For that reason, I really think it is incumbent on the Minister to engage with the issue and give us some good news. I hope that he will have some positive news for us, because his Government would gain great kudos from this initiative, but at this stage I do not care who delivers it. It is the right thing to do and I hope that, in that vein, he is able to address the issues I have raised tonight.
