I move amendment No. 38:

In page 104, after line 52, to insert the following subsection:

"(12) The court shall, in all circumstances, endeavour to ensure and satisfy itself that, the offender who is to be the subject of an order under subsection (1) fully understands the implications of his or her agreeing to comply with the requirements of the order under subsection (11).".

This amendment seeks to ensure the courts will make it clear in plain English the effects of a restriction of movement order to the individual concerned. While there are other duties on the courts, this is the clearest way of expressing the courts' requirements.
