However, I will be the first to admit that the noble Lord, Lord Woodley, and the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Moulsecoomb, have come up with something less complicated and, frankly, more encompassing. Their Amendment 134 proposes that, until the Chief Inspector of Probation is satisfied that there is sufficient capacity in the service to deliver those aspects of the Bill likely to increase demand, they cannot be implemented. My noble friends Lady Hamwee and Lord Marks will no doubt speak to Amendments 153 and 154, and the noble and learned Lord, Lord Keen of Elie, and the noble Lord, Lord Sandhurst, will speak to Amendment 155, but I just point out that all three require reports, before implementation, on the practicality of different aspects of the Bill.
