I will also say that I recognise the intention of Amendments 358A and 538A, put forward by the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Gower, as being serious and important. Before making regulations under Clause 117, specifying articles to be caught by the possession and supply of offences in Clauses 115 and 116, it is important to consult and give proper notice to affected persons. That is why Clause 117 already requires the Secretary of State to consult appropriate persons who are likely to be affected before any of the further regulations under that clause can be made.
