Coroners and Justice Bill

I shall not say that one should be grateful for small mercies; rather I thank my noble friend. It is a reasonably helpful answer and I appreciate that there may not be examples where people have deliberately used the six-month period to evade a prosecution. Nevertheless, it may be that not too many people know about it, but after the debate they might do, so we had better be careful. Again, I am grateful for what my noble friend has said, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 205 withdrawn.
