I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, line 13, after “Communications” to insert “, Image-Based Crime”.

As I understand it, the Minister proposes to delete the section so there is probably not much point having much discussion on those amendments, other than to say they will probably be brought forward on Report Stage as amendments to amendment No. 48. We should have probably amended amendment No. 48 instead of these, but it is important.

The amendments propose adding "Image-Based Crime" to the Title of the Bill, which is vitally important for the sufferers of the crime. We will, therefore, address this again on Report Stage.
