Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I note the noble and learned Baroness’s comments with interest and respect for her knowledge on these issues. If I had to give an example, I would cite someone working for a company that goes bankrupt. If the person came in with skills and could soon obtain employment with another company that had not gone bankrupt and required those skills then that would not, as I understand it, be in breach of the proposed conditions. However, it might be wiser to put this in writing to ensure that the courts will accept that interpretation. As I understand it, the Government’s intention is simply to ensure that we have continued employment and economic contributions from would-be migrants.
