Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, I am grateful. This was raised on the last occasion at 11 o’clock at night, and now again it is late. Before I withdraw the amendment, perhaps I may make a suggestion as we approach Christmas. The Lord Speaker might consider creating a Christmas competition for the Peer who made on average the briefest speeches throughout the preceding year, including barristers. With that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 98 withdrawn. Clause 111 : Minor and consequential amendments and repeals and revocations Clause 111 : Minor and consequential amendments and repeals and revocations Amendments 99 and 100 not moved. Schedule 7 : Minor and consequential amendments Schedule 7 : Minor and consequential amendments Amendment 100A not moved. Amendments 101 to 127 Moved by
