It may help those who have tabled the amendments if I say that the Home Office publishes family reunion data quarterly and puts information out, as has been mentioned by a number of colleagues, by nationality, age and gender. I acknowledge that recent trends in family reunion visas may reflect the increase in the number of people granted refugee or humanitarian protection in previous years, many of whom may now be eligible to bring in family members. But again, I find myself in the position of being between the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, and those Members who have tabled amendments to tighten the Bill before us today. There is a series of amendments, we can go through each in turn, but essentially that is the procedure, to tighten that regulation.
