On some level, there is general agreement on this legislation and the fact it fixes the legal issue. There is scope, however, for considerable sentences being issued where the Bill applies to an offender. We are not opposing the passage of the Bill at this point in time. There is, however, a considerable amount of work which needs to be done, particularly in that field that relates to gangland crime and beyond. The questions I put previously need to be answered.
