I thank the noble Lord, Lord Blencathra, for sharing his experiences. It made me think of even more awful experiences that I have had. I am laughing at it, but I was left at a Bangkok airport with 20 unaccompanied minors, when there was a problem with their onward journey. The airline very happily left me with 20 children overnight. I locked them all in the room, which goes against anything that you should be doing. I had to stop two 13 year-old girls leaving the airport because they wanted to go into Bangkok to have a look around. I cannot imagine anything like that happening now—you would hope—but we really need to address these issues.
