Clause 2 - Eligible children
Child Trust Funds Bill
2:30 pm
Ms Ruth Kelly (Financial Secretary, HM Treasury; Bolton West, Labour)
An argument about the possibility of deportation threatens to go outside the scope of the hon. Gentleman's amendment. When children are granted asylum, they will become entitled to the child trust fund. If they are refused asylum, their claims will not stand. On that basis, I ask the hon. Gentlemen not to press their amendments.
