This morning, my hon. Friend the Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) said that we would not support the retention of the provision until we were assured of an adequate replacement, which we are still not. He is engaged in asking a question at the newly established Youth questions in Westminster Hall. I have heard nothing from the Minister that has reassured me, so I intend to divide the Committee.
