Lynne Featherstone (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Hornsey and Wood Green, Liberal Democrat)
I have listened to the Minister’s comments, but I am not reassured. There are issues about the open-ended and overweening nature of the change in the balance of power before charge, which might have some dangerous, unintended consequences. At this point, however, I am content to ask that we revisit the issue at a later stage. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
