As I've explained consistently on this, the government will entertain the introduction of a deferred prosecution scheme only after measures introduced in this bill have been implemented and given time to work. That's been consistent from us. I do note, again, that you had a period in government where you could have pursued this. You never actually did it, and you continue to delay it now.
