Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I am not going to move it. I have said what I wanted to say on the topic and I shall refer to a later amendment to be moved by my noble and learned friend Lord Lloyd. That will suffice for the afternoon. Can the Minister confirm that the Government are still standing by subsection (5)(b), which is a statement of the Palmer test of Lord Morris, "““that evidence of a person’s having only done what the person honestly and instinctively thought was necessary for a legitimate purpose””—" that is, for self-defence— "““constitutes strong evidence that only reasonable action was taken by that person for that purpose””?"
