I thank many of the noble Lords present today, and those who cannot be present today, for their involvement in pre-legislative scrutiny, which has made this a better Bill. I also thank the many sector and stakeholder groups for their continued input and collaboration and the very good briefings they continue to provide, and those with experience of detention under the Act who so bravely and generously shared their stories and experiences to inform proposals for change and improvement. This is an important piece of legislation, and I assure the noble Baroness, Lady Tyler, that I welcome scrutiny. That is the way to make improvements. I look forward to debates in Committee and welcome the debate we have already had so far.
