Dr Evan Harris (Oxford West and Abingdon, Liberal Democrat)
I have two points, but will make only one in this intervention. I will seek to catch the Minister's eye to make a further intervention before he finishes.
In the text that he read, which, I accept, starts to address the point of the amendments, he referred to six months being, in the Government's opinion, ''a reasonable safeguard''. Those are his words. Will he say what it is a reasonable safeguard against?
