I shall come on to that because it is a complicated matter to discuss—there is ““regulated””, ““unregulated””, ““supervised””, ““unsupervised”” and so on. Obviously, if an activity is unsupervised, it is regulated, so I shall come on to the issues of supervision. In an establishment such as a school, it will be difficult to persuade authorities not to pursue enhanced CRB checks. The hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull North (Diana Johnson) argued that if a referral to the ISA had not been referred to the police, the barring information would not be on the certificate. On the matter, it would be helpful if I could progress with my remarks. We disagreed in Committee and I have no doubt that we will end up disagreeing today as well, but I want to assure the House that we are acting with the best of intentions and drawing the line where we believe appropriate. As I said, bars from working with children or vulnerable groups apply to regulated activity, so it does not make sense—
