UK Borders Bill

I am a bit concerned. I do not entirely agree with the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, on this, but I see what he is trying to get at. He is saying, as is the Minister, that the exception is there to protect people, but under subsection (7) the Government can deport even when someone is protected by an exception. I think that is what the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, was saying. I dread extending proceedings on this, because I know that a snail is a Ferrari compared to us, but I feel this point is important. Might it possibly be that someone who has some form of mental illness but who is not subject to a restraining order wishes to be deported? Even though they might be subject to an exception or protection, they may not wish to have that protection. More widely, might it be that someone who could be protected by an exception does not want to be and wants to go?
