Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 October 2024

Debate

Immigration (Guidance on Detention of Vulnerable Persons) Regulations 2024

Contribution

In summary, we welcome the regulations and urge noble Lords to support the Government. These regulations continue the work of the past Conservative Government on stopping illegal channel crossings. These regulations will make the United Kingdom safer and our borders more secure, so I ask only that the Minister answer my questions about their position on the detention of pregnant women and on the principle of second medical opinions. Aside from that, I commend the Government for their efforts.
