Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My Lords, we have heard some very moving speeches. Because I have consistently spoken over the years in favour of family reunion, I will say something about Amendments 47 and 48, which I support. I urge the Government to take them away and combine the best points from both of them into something workable, practical and possible to implement.

It is most important that children and young people who are already here should be able to sponsor their close relatives, and, conversely, older people here should be able to sponsor their younger next of kin.
