Lord Paddick to move, as an amendment to the motion that the bill be now read a second time, to leave out from “that” to the end and insert “the House declines to give the bill a second reading because it
(1) undermines the rule of law by failing to meet the United Kingdom’s international law commitments and by allowing Ministers to ignore the directions of judges;
(2) undermines the UK’s tradition of providing sanctuary to refugees by removing the ability of refugees to exercise their legal right to claim asylum, by removing protections afforded to modern slavery victims and by increasing the number of people in indefinite detention, including children;
(3) fails to provide safe and legal routes for refugees;
(4) fails to include measures to eliminate the backlog of asylum cases; and
(5) fails to include measures to tackle people smuggling gangs.”
