I am editing my thoughts as I go. Another amendment seeks to reduce the maximum age of unmarried siblings from 25 to 21. Noble Lords may be aware of the particularly hazardous position of young women alone in the situations that we are concerned about. In other areas, UK law recognises that young people in this age group are particularly vulnerable. Indeed, the Second Reading of the Bill from the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Manchester immediately preceding this debate recognised that.
