The right hon. Gentleman is being very helpful. He says that it should not be stated in the Bill that the burden of proof is ““beyond reasonable doubt”” because that is already set out in law. Would he be good enough to explain why he says that? I am not persuaded that what he says is the case; if I am wrong, so be it, but will he say why I am wrong?
