I also look forward to the Minister’s reply in relation to Amendment 144 in the name of her noble friend Lord Watson of Invergowrie on the use of unregulated provision for 16 and 17 year-olds. The Minister will have heard the strength of feeling across the Committee on this point. Of course, underlying this is the need to create more capacity, which is why my noble friend Lady Sanderson’s amendment and that of my noble friend Lord Agnew are so important.
