Nationality and Borders Bill

I shall intervene very briefly because, as the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, has reminded us, it is 11.04 pm. I am concerned about the impact of this amendment, if accepted, on fairness. We want to try to encourage people to go through the major routes, first, because it is fair and everyone is treated equally and, secondly, because if they try unofficial ways then they put themselves at risk from people smugglers, the Channel and other methods of illegal entry. I ask the noble Baroness, Lady Ludford, and indeed the Minister whether this would not undermine a fairness element of the system by allowing people who choose to behave in a certain way to jump the queue and take advantage. If that is the case, surely that is undesirable from the point of view of both policy and their personal safety.
