Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I take all our discussions away and think very carefully about them because Members of the Committee make very important points even in discussions where we agree to agree, so of course I will do that. However, I am reluctant to suggest to colleagues that we should change our approach. Having said that, I am happy to look at whether we have captured everything properly within the legislation. The approach is to put the obligation on ourselves. Personally, whether there are 42 or 43 chief police officers, I have enormous faith in their understanding and ability to recognise their obligations under the Human Rights Act. I am absolutely confident that they are among the best in the world in sharing of information, because they are very clear about the purposes for which they are doing it, the importance and value of it and about ensuring that those with whom they share it adopt a correct and proper approach.
