The point I was trying to elucidate earlier was a more general one. Zimbabwe is an illustration of it, but there are other countries to which we do not return people at the moment. We do not return anyone to Baghdad, although we send them back to Erbil in northern Iraq; and we do not return anyone to Somalia, but we return them to Somaliland. In all those cases, where there is a de facto policy of not returning people to their country of origin, will the noble Lord give a guarantee that Section 9 will not be applied to families from that group? Will the instructions that have been given to immigration officers cover that matter?
