Serious Crime Bill [HL]

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, perhaps I may thank the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, for clearing his family name and for correcting me on R v Collins 1972. I had not even realised that it was a House of Lords case, but, as he put it, it is one of the very few cases that I can remember—sadly, I could not remember its correct name. I thank also the Minister for agreeing not to press ahead with Amendments Nos. 51 and 126, but to go ahead with the others. On that basis, I am perfectly satisfied. It is a reasonable way forward and it will probably make life easier for all of us in due course.
