Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his careful reply to my amendment. I am grateful to the noble Lords, Lord Judd, Lord Roberts and Lord Avebury, for speaking in support of its principles. I recognise the difficulties of which the Minister spoke, but the children to whom the amendment would apply are in a vulnerable situation. I understood in Committee that a review of how statistics on them are kept was taking place. If further information on that is available, I would be grateful to hear it from the Minister. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
