Proceeding contribution from Anthony Steen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.

UK Borders Bill

I apologise for not being here to speak in support of my amendment, but I was occupied in two other places. I hoped to be here in time, but unfortunately my colleagues did not speak for long enough. We are all in favour of the Council of Europe, and we are grateful to the Minister for his interest in getting the convention signed, but how does that square with the consultation paper suggestions, which propose giving children far fewer rights than suggested by the convention? The two appear to be on a collision course. Is that how the Minister sees it—and if not, will he explain why not?
