Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Minister, (Assisted By Shadow Law Officers); Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
I commend the Minister on his succinct explanation of new clauses 9 and 10. They find favour with Conservative Members. He gave the example of useful information being gleaned by stopping and examining people on departure from this country. That must be the right way to go in the current circumstances. Indeed, only a short time ago the Government were somewhat embarrassed when a certain gentleman left this country unbeknownst to them, and announced from abroad that he was out of their jurisdiction and safe elsewhere when they were interested in speaking to him.
