We had a probing amendment on this clause, which was understandably not selected. It would be helpful if the Minister told the Committee, either now or later, what the form of a tribunal established by section 9 of the Protection of Children Act 1999 is and why it has been chosen, as opposed to other models.

I cannot do so now, but I will try to do that by the end of the sitting.

Question put and agreed to.
