UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.
I offer a suggestion on Amendment No. 13 for consideration by the Government. Would the amendment become acceptable if it only referred to England and Wales? Amendments Nos. 38 to 40 reinforce the effect of government Amendment No. 37; what I am going to say is perhaps parallel to them. Will the Government consider appointing legal guardians for those children identified as having been trafficked, and to unaccompanied children arriving in this country generally? I suggest that the appointment of guardians might have a good effect on the most unfortunate phenomenon, which has been going on for a number of years, of children disappearing from care.
