I was just wondering about the duplication of work by the Department and the committee, and the timing of when that is fed in. That is fine.

I want to ask Mr. Collins two questions. We have covered head 42 in great detail. On head 43, and subsection (4) in particular, I want to get Mr. Collins's view generally on whether juveniles can be questioned without representation and whether the Policing Authority is happy with the provision overall. What are his views on it overall as it applies to adults, let us say?
