Before I conclude, I will briefly address Amendment 155, tabled in my name and that of my noble and learned friend Lord Keen of Elie. This is a simple but necessary drafting amendment to ensure that Section 16 should not be, and will not be, brought into effect until the report on the practicability of enforcing restriction-zone requirements that is introduced by new electronic monitoring provision is laid before Parliament. It is a matter of basic good order: Parliament should have the relevant evidence before the provision is commenced, not afterwards.
