I shall not detain the Committee too long. The clause gives effect to schedule 2, which makes provision for cases in which the Secretary of State imposes measures on an individual without first obtaining the permission of the court. Such measures will be used in exceptional circumstances and for urgent cases. Will the Minister indicate the type of event for which the provision will be called into play?
