The second category of amendments is about various requirements, capacity or delivery probability before enactment of the main measures in the Bill. My own probing Amendment 137 and associated amendments are perhaps the most obscure; ringing in my ears, as I was drafting it, was the probation officer who said that workloads are sky-high and other probation staff who have reported impossible case loads. It seems sensible to get some measure of an acceptable case load for each of the different roles of a probation officer and then set a maximum, which would of course focus minds on the number of staff needed.
