Amendment 77 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Moraes, seeks to remove Clause 22(1) and (2), extending the local authority’s duty of care to looked-after children to the Secretary of State where Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 overlaps Clause 21. From memory, the Minister gave an extensive reply in Committee on this topic, so while we understand the importance of the amendment, we will listen with interest to the Minister, who will share her extensive thoughts on the subject.
