Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Indeed, that is correct. I would prefer that families were not put in a situation where they might choose to go underground, in which case their children would not receive education or have access to health services and the parents might be subject to an unscrupulous landlord who could do all sorts of things because they would be in his clutches. I would prefer them to be detained and removed—if that had to happen—or that there was a continuing effort to engage with them to encourage them to return voluntarily. But to my mind, this is not voluntary return; it is a form of coercion. I find it unbelievable that one could think that depriving children of loving, caring parents and placing them in care was a better option for those children than trying to keep them with their parents at all costs. I can see that we disagree on those facts but the important thing is what the Minister said about the pilots, which I welcome. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 43 agreed to.
