Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Coaker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My Lords, I will let the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Craig, talk about Amendment 78 when we come to it, but, as one of the signatories, it would be churlish not to recognise the way the Government have moved on that issue.

With respect to Amendment 77, I appreciate that the Government again have made some movement on this but I do not think it is enough. It should be four years; that is what the demand is. I do not understand or accept the point the Minister made about the exclusion of dependants. Dependants should be included in any scheme we take forward. As such, I wish to test the opinion of the House.
