Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

Before the noble Baroness who has raised such interesting issues comes back, may I ask a couple of questions? The wording in the Bill is pretty passive: the person must have ““received adequate training””. It does not then give any benchmark about how they would have benefited from it if they were a candidate for this job and if they had passed the job test. They have only to have received the training. I may have missed something in what the Minister said. I am still not clear as to whether it is full-time or part-time training. If the individual has greater training needs, will they receive more than 14 weeks’ training? Finally, could the Minister say something about what would happen if the person did not want to be designated? Will there be any issues around people who do not want to switch from their current job and who do not want to be trained? What sort of rights do they have? What sort of representations has the Minister received from the unions or from individuals on this issue?
