I turn to Amendments 105 and 106, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Sandhurst, and thank him for raising the important subject of justice impact tests. The Government agree that, for all new legislation, it is essential to conduct a full and proper assessment of the potential impact on the justice system. In line with this, the Government have completed a justice impact test for the Water (Special Measures) Bill, and this has been shared with the Ministry of Justice as an internal and interdepartmental form.
