As my noble friend has been interrupted, I reinforce the point that the noble Earl has made by putting it in a different way. My noble friend has rehearsed again the arguments that led the Government to their conclusion as expressed in legislation. He has not responded so far to the arguments that have been put forward that this legislation will be counterproductive. We all know that the ultimate objective is not so that the welfare and well-being of the child can be ensured but to ensure efficient deportation. The youngsters are going to know this. If these measures are taken, how can my noble friend argue that they are not more likely to persuade more young people to get into still deeper trouble by disappearing and avoiding the situation?
