Finally, I will say a word about the amendment in this group in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Polak. I have added my name, since I do agree with the principle. However, I am concerned about the drafting, which would take a judge several hours to explain to a jury, and then they may still not understand it. I hope that the Government will accept the principle and come back at Third Reading with a simpler, more practical amendment. In the meantime, I look forward to the Minister’s response, particularly to Amendment 262, which is widely supported by the children’s organisations. That change to the Bill should be made.
