Violent Crime Reduction Bill

I shall briefly make a few comments on Amendment No. 88. The basic idea behind it is to have an implementation period for any remedial action—an eight-week period. Either you let the whole thing happen and allow people to see if it works, or you do not. That is the thinking behind the amendment. Either you have a chance to implement it, or you do not; it works or it does not. That is a brief outline behind the thinking behind the amendment.
