I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord, Lord Boyd, the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, and the noble Earl, Lord Mar and Kellie, for their contributions. This is a difficult area. The whole question of inadequate equipment raises a number of issues, and I am therefore also grateful to the noble and learned Lord, Lord Davidson, for his response. It is a difficult decision and I will want to reflect on it, particularly on the points made by the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, about training. I am now left to think about ways in which we can address cases where there has been a gross breach of the duty of care in respect of equipment. Perhaps we shall return to this at a later stage. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
