I take the point of the noble Lord, Lord Pannick, that perhaps the Supreme Court on a couple of occasions has tried to give better clarity. The problem for the cops is that they do not easily understand how Supreme Court decisions and judgments pan out. That is why we have law: to articulate what the Supreme Court has sometimes made clear to itself but does not always make clear enough for officers on the ground. The fact that the court needed to remedy it indicates that perhaps there is a gap in the law that the Government might want to remedy now. This is a great opportunity to provide clarity, which I argue that Amendment 382H would do.
