I understand the point made by the Minister of State who has assisted us in clarifying the purpose of the section. I remind the House that the amendment does not propose to remove any part of the legislation but to retain section 20(1)(a), (b) and (c) but to include the saver, as it were, "otherwise than in circumstances referred to in subsection (2),". The amendment proposes to draw a distinction between the manner in which we deal with the two types of conduct outlined in the section. If the Minister of State is settled in his mind in respect of the conduct he seeks to capture in the separate sections, I will not press the matter. Perhaps he will comment on my point that the amendment does no more than propose a clearer distinction between the two offences.
