My Lords, I thank the Minister for that response, which, in some ways, was almost more than I was looking for. She reassures me that the Government are still grappling with the issue of ECT and children, which is still one of our big concerns. Although we welcome the Government’s amendment for capacitous adults, which seems, to me at any rate, to meet most of our concerns about them, we would like to look at Hansard more carefully. We are grateful that the Healthcare Commission will look at accreditation being given by the Royal College of Psychiatrists to units which are administering ECT. That is very welcome. Meanwhile, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
