That was a slightly more helpful Intervention than some I experienced earlier. There cannot be a disproportionate response because to allow that would risk conflict with human rights and other legislation. The claim that I think the hon. Gentleman is making, that proportionality is unduly prescriptive, must be read in that context.
This is a technical schedule. It makes the necessary links between the Bill and existing legislation, and makes the changes that we want in respect of the parameters of enforcement orders. I hope that that will satisfy the hon. Gentleman.
An intervention is when the MP making a speech is interrupted by another MP and asked to 'give way' to allow the other MP to intervene on the speech to ask a question or comment on what has just been said.
