Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My Lords, I invite the noble Baroness who moved this amendment and her supporter to consider the actual conditions of refugees who have passed through Europe and managed to get somewhere near our shores. They usually face closed frontiers. They probably live rough over a considerable period, being chased, for example, by the French police and the garde républicaine de sûreté. They are tear gassed, pepper sprayed and so on. Can they always be expected to have retained their correct documentation?
