Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, I agree. I support my noble kinsman on this point, because as usual he is very knowledgeable and has thought about this problem thoroughly. Not knowing who has a dual passport in this country and having no sanction against people who do not admit to having one are very real problems. I hope that the Minister will realise that just occasionally an individual in this House or somewhere else has a good idea. The Government think that individuals cannot possibly have good ideas and that only their advisors, huge organisations or—occasionally Oppositions have good ideas. However, this is an extremely good idea and it comes from someone with an original mind, and I will be very disappointed if the Government do not at least look at this; it could be explored when the Bill goes to the House of Commons. I hope that we will not have a dismissive speech of a much needed good idea.
