Before I call the hon. Gentleman to speak, I shall pass on a plea from the Committee Reporters. The Committee's proceedings are recorded via the microphones so that they can be reported, so could hon. Members please try to speak towards the microphones? That way, the Reporters might hear what is said.

In fact, having looked more closely at the clause, I need not trouble the Minister any further on it. The wording was slightly different, but I assume that the expression used in subsection (4)(b),

``any person affected by the order'', refers to the defendant.
