UK Borders Bill

Before the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, speaks to his amendment, I should thank the Minister for that answer. That might seem strange because he rejects my amendment, but he has very helpfully exposed some of the contradictions that would flow from it. He is right that I am not seeking to undermine the security that the system is supposed to bring about, and, having listened to his answer, I certainly undertake not to return to the matter when it reappears either in the list of amendments or on Report.
