I wish to comment on the other two amendments in this group, even though they have not been spoken to yet. I am slightly bewildered but, if I have it right, Amendments 112 and 113 would introduce powers to detain unaccompanied asylum-seeking children who are exempt from removal in limited pre-removal scenarios, and to detain such unaccompanied children under these powers, which would become lawful only if regulations were made. Bail is possible but restricted to eight or 28 days, depending on the grounds, and legal challenges will be very limited during the first 28 days, subject only to bad faith or natural justice exceptions.
