Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

I am making a few comments about the new clause. I would like to hear my hon. Friend the Member for Esher and Walton speak about it and hear whether he intends to press it to a vote.

I think that where children are involved the new clause weakens the Bill, and as I have said, there are concerns about how the measure would operate and its practical implications. I think it would lead to circumstances in which—potentially for a significant period of time—we would not be able to deport people who otherwise we would be able to deport.
