In conclusion, the IPPR has described this as a worrying misstep that is neither good politics nor good policy. Its research, like that of others, has consistently shown that the public has little appetite for punitive citizenship policies. Nearly 150 organisations, including faith groups, condemned the change in an open letter when it was announced. Personally, I feel ashamed that my Government have taken this misstep. This amendment would at least mitigate its impact. I beg to move.
