I am considering bringing forward amendments to section 2. These will be mainly technical amendments to this section to provide for additional definitions, which might seem a bit surprising, such as a definition of "prison". Some other new definitions may also be required on foot of amendments proposed today, including a definition of "medical practitioner". We may have to revisit those but they are technical definitional issues. I will have to come back to them in section 2.
