so I am surprised and disappointed by the withdrawal of that amendment, having supported the recommendations of the Senate committee, certainly as a next best step or an ameliorating provision, if you like, in relation to this legislation.

I have put on record already our concerns with this provision. So what this amendment seeks to do is essentially to oppose broadly the provisions that relate to the delayed notification search warrants. The Democrats believe that there is a strong argument for getting rid of this provision, and we oppose the provision and hope that that will be supported.
