Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Quite so. It made me think of the updated version—a new single by Robbie Williams, called ““Make me pure, but not yet””—which is a particular favourite of mine, for reasons that I shall not go into. The noble Lord quite rightly raised the issue in this Bill, but as he knows, it is not the right vehicle for his amendment. However, I am the Minister responsible for the Law Commission; therefore, perhaps more than anyone, I am pleased that the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, has raised this. I have a ministerial group responsible for looking at the work of the Law Commission and I will invite the Home Office Minister at our meeting to raise with the Law Commission whether we might take this forward. In my discussions with the Law Commission, I will find out whether it has a view on that. Having done that, if I may, I shall send a note to the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, or discuss it with him and put a note in the Library of the House. He has picked the right Minister to address this and I hope that that will be of some use to him. I am perfectly happy to do that for him. I hope that I have given a good enough explanation. I will pick up the points made by the noble Baroness properly and deal with any other issues that need to be raised. My final point is that the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, considering how the clause was laid out, asked why the word ““purpose”” was used in various places. It is important to maintain that description in legislation, because it reflects existing different circumstances. Parliamentary counsel on the Bill is the parliamentary counsel with whom I have worked on several Bills and it would be unheard of for him to include things in Bills that he did not think were needed. It is because it is important effectively to reflect the existing position that it looks as if we have repeated ourselves. I will confirm that with him, but that is my understanding at this stage. I hope that that has given the noble Lord some answers to his questions.
