UK Borders Bill

Exactly. I would hope that the chief inspector would have that role and that there would be no limitation on his or her power to scrutinise any of the functions whatever that were exercisable by the BIA, by analogy with the powers of the Chief Inspector of Prisons, for example. We will look forward to further news on that. We are reasonably happy with what the Minister has said on this amendment, although it does not go as far as we would have liked. However, we are grateful to him for his attempt to satisfy the Committee. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 1 agreed to.
