Commentary on Sections Part 9 – Power of Police to Remove Person to Place of Safety Section 152 - Access to legal advice
This section provides that any person detained under the Part is entitled to consult a solicitor privately at any time.  If such a request is made then it should be facilitated as soon as is practicable. The request and the time it was made should be recorded in writing. Article 59 of PACE, which deals with access to legal advice when in police custody, does not apply in relation to persons detained at a place of safety under this Part.
