Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I was about to conclude when the noble Earl, Lord Listowel, rose to speak, and I must say that it was extremely useful that he did so. We now have an assurance that Clause 41(6) does not apply to children, whether in terms of absconding from detention or obstructing,"““an authorised person in the exercise of a power under section 40””." I must say that that was a useful intervention. Much of what the noble Baroness said is extremely useful, but I am left with concerns about these clauses, particularly about the way that they will be applied in the juxtaposed regime. When one is talking about the detention of children in this country, all sorts of other agencies can come into play, such as Kent Social Services, which the Minister briefly mentioned. None of those things apply regarding Calais or the other juxtaposed places. Maybe the Minister will be able to discuss with the Children’s Commissioner whether we shall be able to rely on French social services and French children’s services to supply the deficiency. For reasons that we all know, we cannot take these matters any further in Grand Committee, and although many of the concerns that we expressed at the beginning still remain, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 64B and 64C not moved.] Clause 40 agreed to. Clause 41 [Section 40: supplemental]: [Amendment No. 65 not moved.] Clause 41 agreed to. Clause 42 agreed to.
