Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, invitingly asks me to respond, but we had a very full debate on this group. Noble Lords will know that the House has kindly accepted the government amendment, which seeks to ensure that there is no hierarchy when it comes to the matters to which the court has to have regard, as it was thought there was by some noble Lords in Committee. I hope that noble Lords will consider that the government amendment properly deals with concerns that many noble Lords have.
