Protection of Freedoms Bill

My Lords, I would also say that it is not uncommon for there to be advertisements for applications using the Nolan principles for an independent element to boards such as this. Perhaps after this evening I shall try to come up with some other examples. I am grateful for that and I put on the record that I am grateful to the information commissioner for the thoughtful way in which he and his office have briefed your Lordships. I warn the government Front Bench that I have not read through to the end of his briefing so there will no doubt be more to come in future parts of the Bill. Having said that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 40 withdrawn. Clause 24 agreed. Amendment 41 not moved. Clause 25 : Material taken before commencement Clause 25 : Material taken before commencement Debate on whether Clause 25 should stand part of the Bill.
