I sincerely hope that the Government will engage meaningfully with these amendments and recognise the vital issues of public protection and judicial integrity that they seek to address. The consequences of getting this wrong are not theoretical; they will be felt by victims and by communities. So, while it is no secret that we may oppose much of the Bill, these amendments are constructive and are tabled in the spirit of helping the Government ensure that the Bill achieves its stated purpose, rather than undermining it. I look forward to hearing the Minister’s response.
