In addition, although I understand that this is not the intent, based on the noble Baroness’s explanatory statement to the amendment, and I know that she said that it is not quite what she would have chosen—I heard that but I am sure she understands that I have to look at what is before us—the drafting of the amendment is such that this might also create an alternative route to detain people with a learning disability and autistic people with a psychiatric disorder. As the Bill already retains Section 3 for those with a learning disability or autism and a psychiatric disorder, this is unnecessary.
