To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what consideration he has given to setting out the offences contained within the Schedule to The Sentencing Act 2026 (Commencement No. 6 and Revocation) Regulations 2026 in primary legislation.

Primary legislation is not needed in the short term to make the offence exclusions a reality.
