Part of Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, Etc.) Bill – in the House of Commons at 4:49 pm on 1 March 2004.
May I make it clear to the hon. Gentleman that my right hon. and learned Friend the Leader of the Opposition rightly complained about the Downing street briefing on a policy of taking children into care? That briefing took place before the Bill was published, and he was entirely right to say that no Bill should include any such measure.
