UK Borders Bill

I do not want to increase my noble friend’s difficulties in any way. He is expressing genuine concern, and I find his apology convincing. However, I do not quite agree with the noble Lord, Lord Avebury. I do not think that documents should be tabled on the day of the meeting at all. If work is being done in the department, it would be to the assistance of the Committee, and a constructive and helpful contribution, if these documents could be available at the time when amendments were being drafted.
