Terrorism prevention and investigation measures bill

I will just finish this point and then I will gladly give way to the right hon. Gentleman. We have received advice from the police that as the transitional period will fall over the Christmas and new year holiday period, a small extension to the period is necessary. That will assist in the effective management of the process of transition for individual cases over the holiday period. It does not reflect on preparedness. Lords amendment 11 therefore extends the transitional period from 28 to 42 days. I give way to the right hon. Gentleman.
