I rise to support fully the hon. Member for Hendon (Mr. Dismore). There is currently a difference between the standard of proof in a very serious offence and the other end of the scale, and the new clause's instruction to IPSA would be a good thing, not a bad thing. It would not emasculate the Bill; it would put more meat on the bone.
