I addressed these issues in my response setting out the government’s amendments.

Question negatived.

The government opposes item 27 in schedule 3 in the following terms:

(17)  Schedule 3, item 27, page 131 (lines 17 to 20), TO BE OPPOSED.

The government is opposing this item because of recommendation 10, with respect to the examination of persons without legal representation. That has been accepted substantially. Accordingly, we are seeking to remove the item from the bill.
