Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws (Lab)
Having heard the response of the noble Baroness, I would ask that she might indicate whether she would be happy to meet with me to discuss the delay in the operation of this, because I understood from what she said that Covid had got in the way of perfecting this emergency visa arrangement with the UNHCR. I would like to know how expeditious that can be, and it may be by sitting with the noble Baroness and having a conversation we can resolve that. So I beg leave to withdraw my amendment.
The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Fookes) (Con)
I am sorry, but the noble Baroness has spoken to the amendment. I must now put the Question.
Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws (Lab)
I was just asking for an indication from the Minister; I am with withdrawing my amendment.
The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Fookes) (Con)
That is correct. It is now in the hands of the noble Baroness: does she wish to seek leave to withdraw?
