UK Borders Bill

It is helpful to have that further clarification on this very delicate issue. I ask the Minister to consult carefully with the Association of Directors of Social Services. It would be useful to hear its view on this and whether, on balance, it believes this measure would be helpful in terms of safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children. There is also concern about the age of children that this measure might apply to. I am not sure whether I asked about that, but the answer is unclear at the moment. I think that the Minister did reply to that point. I shall look at it in Hansard. I thank the Minister for his helpful responses to these concerns and the noble Lord, Lord Judd, for his helpful support in taking this matter forward.
