Part of Offender Management Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 3:30 pm on 18 January 2007.
I thank the Minister for his detailed response to the amendment. I reassure him that I do not seek in any way to undermine what the clause is about. However, I have listened carefully to what he has said and I am still not clear whether he is giving me the reassurance that I seek—this is the bottom line—that the safeguards for child safety will be in place. Forgive me if he was yet to come to that, but I am concerned that it should be absolutely clear before he concludes.
