The noble Baroness, Lady Hanham, has mentioned concerns. I should like to mention concerns about security organisations and subcontractors. On Second Reading, various examples were given of harm caused to individuals from escorts and all sorts of transport during detention. I realise that we are dealing specifically with ports, but I should like to hear confirmation from the Minister that this extension of powers under the PACE regulations, although welcome in itself, will cover these security firms and that adequate training is being given to anyone acting on behalf of revenue and customs officials.
