Clause 54 - Exemption from deportation
Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill
6:45 pm
Mr Richard Allan (Sheffield, Hallam, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful to the Minister for her response. I am sure that those who are more familiar with such cases will be aware of our proceedings and will be in touch with the Minister to explain why they believe that the provision is not redundant. We are grateful to her for tabling Government amendment No. 254, which we support because we have serious worries about the subsection as it is worded. I am pleased that the Government are to withdraw it. I shall not press the amendment to a Division now, because there is some doubt about such matters.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Amendment made: No. 254, in page 29, line 29, leave out subsection (5)—[Angela Eagle.]
Clause 54, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
