We have made it clear that we are not saying all information should be given but "all relevant information". The Minister has asked whether that is all information relevant to the case or the victim. We say it is all information relevant to the victim to ensure he or she would receive all of the information he or she might possibly require. The Minister might say that is too cumbersome, but we are not saying that. It is possible that there could be information relevant to the case that it might not be essential for the victim to receive. We are not going to push the matter to a vote either, but we ask the Minister to look at it. It is essential that victims receive as much information as they are due. Everyone would be better off in the long term if they were to receive it.

The spirit of the Bill will be honoured more if we ensure that as much information as possible gets to who it should.
