I am looking at the explanatory memorandum—page 13. Perhaps the minister could indicate how this will work in practice. Will all these three stages take place within a couple of days? Also, can you tell us what the education process is? Are people going to be given leaflets or brought together in the nearest hall? What form will that education take? I notice that there is provision for appeal and request for seized materials to be returned. Is there a warrant required before police officers can go into households and search if they suspect that all of the pornographic material has not been handed up?
