What is very clear are the number of things that should have already been prosecuted, not least the actions against the restaurant that was raised earlier. The reason why I raise this, and I put this in the context of why we tabled this amendment, is that there is a considerable problem here around enforcement. We tabled the amendment to be very clear about what we should enforce against, because the law is not being applied. This refers to something that two police chief constables, the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and the chief constable in Manchester, have had to make into an act of political courage in saying that they will enforce the law. How shameful that something that should have been dealt with ends up being an act of courageousness by a couple of senior police officers alone.
