My Lords, I can only say that I do not believe that it will. It seems to me—I have discussed this with the Minister—that the terms of the temporary stop notice are not much different from those of the stop notice, in which case it will not have the effect of permitting entry on to land and the taking away of equipment. If I am incorrect about that, I shall be very glad to hear it, because that would also put at ease the minds of those in the other place who also wanted to see this amendment tabled.

I do not believe that I can take the matter further and I therefore beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
