Senator Henry spoke about amendment No. 25. The reason we seek to include "a visiting committee" is that visiting committees have a statutory right to visit prisoners under section 3(2) of the 1925 Act. In amendment No. 26 we seek to insert the United Nations Committee against Torture. As the section provides for a right to visit the prisoner to the Council of Europe Committee against Torture, it is appropriate that it cover the UN committee as well.
