Clause 16
UK Borders Bill
4:30 pm
Paul Rowen (Shadow Minister, Transport; Rochdale, Liberal Democrat)
I am glad that you have joined us for our deliberations, Mr. Amess. Does the Minister not accept that far better arrangements could be made than using immigration and nationality directorate officers? She talked about the current consultation. If there is a requirement to deal with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, would it not be better to deal with them through social services or local authorities, which have expertise in dealing with young people?
