UK Borders Bill

I fully accept what the Minister just said. I was simply seeking to build on what my noble friend said about lay visitors in police stations, who could at least pass on a request for legal advice to an appropriately qualified person. If the duty solicitor on criminal matters were also to be brought into the picture, he or she might be slightly better at taking down the initial details of the facts and then passing them on to an accredited solicitor, who would obviously be responsible for giving substantive advice to the person being detained. I did not bring any of the individual cases cited to us by the TGWU to the Committee because they were anonymised. I have said to the person in charge of migrant workers at the TGWU that I would like to have further details so that I could do so. I will provide the noble Lord with the details so that they can be considered. In the mean time, I simply reiterate that although it is not the responsibility of the Minister but of the LSC, I hope that before October the commission will see fit to consult on the pilots with the organisations that are principally involved in these issues; that is, the TGWU, the JCWI and ILPA. For now, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
