There is a framework for lawful immigration advice provided by authorised professionals. It is hard enough to practise in this field—or indeed to become a client, because you cannot find anyone to act for you on legal aid terms. Adding a risk for lawyers is surely not the sort of deterrent that the Home Office has in mind, especially when it affects access to justice and therefore the rule of law. I know the Minister will say that the Government are not going to target individuals who act professionally, as he did in Committee. This Government will not, but another Government might, as I am sure he said in the years when he was in opposition. I beg to move.
