I just want to make a few points on this, because I think this is a piece of legislation at Westminster that is very, very desirable and long overdue. It is an area where we might have considered legislating ourselves at some stage, but it's absolutely right that we have a certain degree of consistency in this area.

I'd like to raise a number of points. It's all very well us talking about increasing the sentences and so on. The biggest problem that has arisen has been the lack of prosecutions, and I think we need to have a better understanding as to why that has occurred, because I remember the campaigns that we had for zero tolerance on assault in the health services. What happened to that? It certainly didn't result in an increase in prosecutions, and no matter what we set the sentences at, unless we actually ensure that there are prosecutions in these cases, then it will not actually have that impact. So, all I would suggest is this: I think that this is something that's eminently worthy of support, and congratulations to Chris Bryant for actually taking this forward, but this is a matter that we do need to keep under review ourselves, because if, over the coming years, it is not having the desired effect, we may want to look ourselves at the issue as to how the legislation's working—
