00:47 the criminal justice system to prevent new or complex crimes such as digital
00:54 enabled crime and child sexual abuse, including grooming. At a time when

01:14 need and will strengthen independent judicial oversight. Legislation will be
01:21 introduced to protect public premises from terrorism in light of the
