Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for that reply. As I said, many of these amendments are probing. The purpose of inserting ““only”” by way of Amendments 4 and 18 was to try to ensure that these matters do not refer to legislation that goes way back, which could mean that we had no idea of what we were altering. I am still slightly less happy about modifying any enactment passed or made after the passing of this Bill. I hear what the Minister says but I shall want to consider whether I need to come back to that aspect. I shall want to read carefully what has been said, although I am content with the replies on the other two provisions. For today, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 4 withdrawn. Amendment 5 not moved. Clause 1 agreed. Clause 2 agreed.
