UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Sentamu (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
My Lords, I have missed out on quite a number of the goings-on in here, but I am surprised that the clause on children has no reference to the Children Act, which is one of the best pieces of legislation in the land. Why is Every Child Matters not forming the background to dealing with children of asylum seekers and immigrants? There is a sense in which the Bill, with its points system, is going in the right direction, but it surprises me that those wonderful pieces of work do not somehow have an echo within the Bill.
