I can only operate on the basis of the words in the Minister's amendment which state a review will be commenced after "not later than 18 months". There is no timeline for the length of the review. It also states that as soon as practicable after the completion of the review a report will be produced. This could be anything from two years up. This is my concern. I am saying we should not let this slide where there is quite serious doubt about the system of recording warnings to enable an offence to be prosecuted.
