Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I hope that we can rid of clause 1, but if we do nothing else today, I hope that Ministers will respond positively to what the hon. Gentleman says. People come here on their own—often without any family to leave behind—from Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone and central Africa, which has suffered from civil war. They do not have anyone else in the world, but they do brilliantly here—they gain a place at university or college and can contribute to the British economy. Suddenly, at 18, 18½ or 19, they are told that they must go home. However, they do not have a home to go to, so they must have a chance to appeal.
