We will hear from the Lib Dem Benches next.

[Lord Purvis of Tweed (LD)]

The UK now finds itself in the invidious position where these individuals would be able to travel here but not to the EU or the United States. Without prejudicing any decisions on future sanctions, surely the Minister can say that these individuals should not travel to the UK because that would not be conducive to our public good.
