Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, I rise to support these amendments and to add a couple of points from the reports of the Joint Committee on Human Rights. This power would make people homeless, some of whom will have had nothing to do with whatever was going on that led to the closure, which is not a very good outcome, and, as the JCHR has said, would interfere with certain human rights, respect for family and home life, and peaceful enjoyment of property. The Government have said that they intend to produce guidance, which Amendment No. 107A suggests. But, in the view of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, guidance is not good enough. These matters can be so serious for vulnerable people that they should have the protection of the law, which should be in the Bill. These amendments seek to do that and I therefore support them.
