Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]

Since we last discussed the Bill on the Floor of the House of Commons, the Government have published a document that is very important—"Building Britain's Future". In the section on immigration, they pledge that we will move to a points system for citizenship so that we break the link between people coming here to work and their automatically becoming citizens. My hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Soames) and I chair the all-party group on balanced migration and we have been pushing for that. Does the Bill bring us up to date with the latest Government development?
