Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]

I do not accept that because the European arrest warrant works in a very different way and is not at all relevant to this discussion. In fact, the vast majority of European countries—I hope all European countries—will sign up to the convention and will ratify it in fairly short order. France and Germany already have. The nationals of those countries will already be caught by the legislation in those countries, so there is no need for us to legislate to make provision for the French, German or Italian person who is going abroad. That is why I believe that the amendment is unnecessary and why it would be inappropriate to accept it.
