The Earl of Mar and Kellie: There is a point I should like to make before seeking leave to withdraw the amendment. We have already established that supervised release orders are separate from the sentence. They are not part of the sentence. So such a person could be dealt with in that way. Mr. McCafferty would not be dealt with by licence; he could be put on a supervised release order on arrival. I shall leave that point.

I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord for his answer. I am interested that appropriate legislation is being considered to deal with this serious situation. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

House resumed.

Girobank plc (Transfer) Bill [H.L.]

The Examiner's certificate that the further standing orders had been complied with ordered to lie on the Table; Bill committed to an Unopposed Bill Committee.
