We have said that we think that that will take a two-year period. That is for Ministers to determine later on if the Bill becomes an Act, but I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Davies, will understand why we said roughly two years: it is because of those factors. That goes, again, to the heart of the points mentioned by the noble Lord, Lord Sandhurst, about the concerns for organisations generally. That two-year period will give an opportunity to put them in place. At the end of that two-year period—or, indeed, when we do commence the legislation, the measures in Clauses 5 and 6, and the responsibilities that we are putting on organisations in those two clauses, will not stop a terrorist attack, but will potentially put mitigating training measures in place in the event of an attack such as Manchester, Borough Market or London Bridge. So I hope that the noble Lord will reflect on what I have said, withdraw his amendment in due course and not return to it at a later date, because I think we have covered those points to his satisfaction.
