A provision of the kind envisaged by the noble Baroness would be unusual, although, I am told, not absolutely unprecedented. It is so highly unusual that we are not minded to think that this would be an appropriate course to pursue—not least because of the assurances that we have given about...

In the terminology I used, I tried to reflect what was in the Sexual Offences Act—but I am definitely open to offers for improvement.

I thank my noble friend for that fairly encouraging answer. The point about the three days’ duration—perhaps I did not spell this out—is that you can get to Bangkok and back in that time with a cheap flight; it is proving to be not sufficient. Had I had more time, I could have given...

As I said, in view of the Minister’s commitment to come back with a government amendment on the duty to inform people of the decisions of the IBB, I do not feel it necessary to move Amendment No. 162 today. [Amendment No. 162 not moved.]

After that marathon, I rise to oppose that Clause 40 stand part of the Bill. The clause provides for how Northern Ireland is brought under the Bill. It is important that new vetting and barring arrangements are taken forward on a UK-wide basis. They need both to reflect local circumstances and to knit...

I thank the Minister for that explanation. However, I fail to see why someone who comes to a person’s home, without anyone else present, and performs a hands-on massage of that person should not be subject under the Bill to exactly the same provisions as someone delivering the same service in a...

The answer is yes.

The answer is yes.

I am enormously grateful to my noble friend for that very full and thorough reply. We will come on to malicious and vexatious allegations in a moment.
