The Minister is right that a change was made following the JCHR report in respect of disapplying the strict criterion that article 7(1) in schedule 1 of the Human Rights Act 1998 must apply. Therefore, I recognise that, even though there was no direct Government response to that report, the response was in the change that was made. That is progress in the direction that I favour.
