Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].

Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I was initially embarrassed at my slowness at finding the papers to move the amendment but once I heard the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, I was extremely glad that he moved it, incredibly ably. His name was on the amendment and he has much greater expertise than I do. Whenever you hear, for example, discussions around a local government table about corporate parenthood and so on, I cannot recall an occasion when they have included the children we are talking about this evening. It has always involved children who were born and lived in the area and this issue is almost entirely overlooked. The noble Lord has raised some serious matters about how these systems intermesh, because in a lot of agencies they simply do not.
