I hesitate to intervene, but I must, even though I know we are to finish dead on a quarter to eight. When I spoke, I very carefully referred to paediatricians in the family court. I was not referring to dental X-rays; I was talking about the science of interpretation of medical evidence and trying to argue—although not to the satisfaction of the noble Lord, Lord Avebury as I knew I could not—that there is a variety of methods of providing medical interpretation of evidence. It is useful to have this debate because it is important to understand what methods are available to assess children’s ages. I feel sure that the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, will wish to return to this on another occasion.
