UK Borders Bill

May I express my gratitude to the Minister for the steps forward that he has taken? He has made genuine and welcome concessions in response to our amendment (a), and I am glad to hear of them. Sadly, although we have inched towards each other, I do not think that we have yet met in the middle of the bridge. I am not convinced that a quarterly meeting with the children's commissioner is enough, as in some cases an immediate and urgent investigation will certainly be required. As I say, I welcome the Minister's concessions, but I do not think that they go far enough, and I still wish to press amendment (a). On amendment (b), I take the point that the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath) made about the six-month delay, but as we have just heard the Minister say that it will take six months for the code to come into force, it seems to me that we are left with a distinction without a difference. However, I will press amendment (a) to a Division. Question put, That the amendment to the Lords amendment be made:— The House proceeded to a Division.
