Well, I take the noble Lord's point, but the history of how the DPP has operated has shown that we can have confidence in the DPP. In some senses, we could argue that the amendment undermines that position, because it questions that independence and integrity. I take issue with that quite seriously. We should rely on that independence and integrity and ensure that we express our confidence in the DPP to act independently and entirely properly.
