Commons ChamberMy right hon. Friend makes a number of good points, particularly on co-operation with the French. Thankfully, during the course of the last year in particular, we have had very good co-operation with the French, much of which was codified in the Sandhurst treaty. We are seeing good co-operation on this situation, including the announcement the French made on Friday. However, he is absolutely right that the more we can work with the French to stop these crossings in the first place, the better protection these people will have from the dangerous journey.
Taking something into account is not the same as seeking to make it inadmissible. Will the Home Secretary confirm which he means?
The two are consistent. They do not cancel each other out. One can take something into account because one seeks to make it inadmissible.
