Now is the time for us to look beyond the letter of the law to see its effects in practice. The Home Secretary was right when she said that the current situation is making a mockery of our laws. But it does not have to be this way; we have presented the Government with a solution, which is here in black and white. We can put an end to this madness; the Government just have to be brave enough to listen. This is an issue that we will return to on Report, but for now I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
