Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I have one small point to add. I understand that the children’s panel has been particularly effective in the past year at recognising children who have been held in detention mistakenly as adults. Indeed, it has recognised more in the past year than in previous years, so it may have the expertise to do this difficult and complex job well and to protect children well who have been mistakenly placed in the adult system. I am sure that we will come back to this. It will be interesting to learn exactly how this will work in the best interests of children.
