Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) (Amendment) Order 2026

Contribution

I know what the rulebook says, because it is here in front of us. It says that there will be an officer who will make sure that they go through properly. That is still not comforting to a parent of an eight year-old. These children are much younger than a 10 year-old and often need help doing straightforward things, such as tidying up after a meal, putting the dishes away and all that sort of stuff, which they continually need to be reminded of at that age. It is the same even for 10 year-olds, but, obviously, it is going to be more of an issue with children who have just reached that age.
