UK Borders Bill

Indeed. I thank the noble Lord for making that point. The observations of the noble Baroness, Lady Anelay, are always pertinent and important and I found them very helpful. She knows how passionate I am about children’s issues. It is important to emphasise that children’s issues have special dimensions which we must always have very much at the forefront of our minds. On her general point about the Government’s dilemma, no one dismisses the fact that there may be a dilemma; I certainly do not. However, it is very complicated because often the original choice to come here illegally will have been part of the whole trafficking basis. Somebody will have put these people up to it knowing perfectly well that it will subsequently make them vulnerable with regard to what they want to do with them once they are here. Trafficking is a sinister business. We would be naïve not to recognise that very real possibility.
