We know that respect orders are going to be piloted before being rolled out. I hope the Minister agrees that this should be done with more transparency than was the case with the piloting of knife crime prevention orders, the results of which were made public only following a successful freedom of information request. Can the Minister provide reassurance that the pilot will monitor how these powers are used, who receives them and what their efficacy is, to minimise the risk they will be used disproportionately against specific groups?
