Compensation Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister for dealing with this amendment. I certainly have no intention of taking this matter any further. I raised it merely to get an explanation of what seemed a rather difficult and important point. My belief is that there will not be enough prosecutions to justify an in-house prosecution staff and that, in practice, it is likely to be much more cost-effective to hand it over to the Crown Prosecution Service. Plainly, we shall have to wait and see about that. Therefore, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn
