I know that all noble Lords who have spoken—I missed the noble Lord, Lord Paddick, off the list of noble Lords who supported the amendments, for which I apologise—did so with good intentions to try to ensure that we have a fair and effective asylum and refugee policy. There may be a difference between their amendments and the Government’s, but I hope we can accept that both come from an honest perspective. I am grateful for the tone in which noble Lords have debated this matter today, but I ask that they do not press their amendments, although I expect that we will revisit these matters at a later stage.
