UK Borders Bill

moved Amendment No. 17: 17: After Clause 17, insert the following new Clause— ““Withdrawal of support: repeal Section 9 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc. ) Act 2004 (c. 19) (failed asylum seekers: withdrawal of support) is repealed.”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, it is getting late and this is a massive moral question. Can we in any way justify any action which leads to destitution? In order to find out exactly what our opinion is, I beg to move the amendment and wish to call for a Division of the House. On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 17) shall be agreed to? Their Lordships divided: Contents, 58; Not-Contents, 106.
