Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I should like to respond quickly to the noble Lord, Lord Avebury—I am conscious that he has important guests. On his latter point, my ambition is to achieve the same thing; I will pick that up with the noble Lord and see how we do it. We are simply doing it in a different way. On his former point, I was not informed that the noble Lord was going to raise his point. I am grateful to him for giving me notice and will ensure that I have discussed the issue appropriately before we reach that point and may talk to the noble Lord outside the Committee as well.
