After 14 weeks, it is clear that more work is needed before this legislation can be considered safe. I am here to help prevent harm, particularly to those least heard. That is why I will continue to press for stronger safeguards. If the Bill is to proceed, it must clearly demonstrate that it can protect those in highly vulnerable situations while respecting the wishes of those it is intended to serve. At present, it does not meet that test. That is where careful scrutiny has brought us so far. In the absence of amendments, we now have a better understanding of the risks and the changes we need to make when or if a similar Bill returns to this House. That is progress.
