UK Borders Bill

Following the Conservative ethic of enterprise, the leaflets could carry advertisements. Advertisers who are able to meet the needs of some of these people might even pay for them. The Liberal Democrats would be happy if they made a profit out of advertising, but there are there are other methods of doing it. This Bill provides us with an opportunity to prevent people from these countries sliding into destitution by giving them information about where to go for accommodation, for food vouchers, for a shower and for a job. It could be done. I called the other day at The Passage, the voluntary organisation that does so much for homeless people and rough sleepers. It has already produced some information, but it would be more useful on a nationwide basis. I look forward to speaking on this issue again when we come to the Report stage. With great reluctance, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
