Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, I want to offer at least my personal reassurance that when I used the term "consider carefully", my interpretation of that term is that one's attention would be drawn to the fact that there had been accusations of domestic abuse. Even if there was no guarantee that that could be proven, it would be a circumstance in which I would expect a very keen eye to be cast with a view to taking that discretion to a point where it relieved the abused migrant from a situation where they continued to be deprived because of their having left the household.
