Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean Excerpts
The Earl of Courtown
My Lords, as I said before, United States immigration policy is for the United States.
Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean (Lab)
My Lords, what direct representations, if any, have Her Majesty’s Government made to the Government of the United States over the forcible separation of children from parents? That is the point of this Question, and it would be helpful if the Minister could tell us what has been said by our Government to theirs on this important humanitarian issue.
The Earl of Courtown
My Lords, as I understand it, we have not been in discussion with the US Administration on this issue. I understand noble Lords’ feelings on this matter, but the fact is that US immigration policy is for the US Government.
