Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

moved Amendment No. 4:"Page 7, line 21, leave out ““effluxion”” and insert ““passage””" The noble Baroness said: My Lords, I dedicate this amendment to the noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy of Lour. I am delighted to see her back in her place. The noble Baroness rightly put me on the spot suggesting that the fabulous word ““effluxion”” was perhaps not in keeping with the Government’s or my stated aim of using simple English where simple English will do. Parliamentary counsel watched me squirm and recognised, as he said, that this was not a term in common usage. Therefore, I propose that we take out the word and insert ““passage”” which tells everyone what we seek to do, with grateful thanks to the noble Baroness. I beg to move.
