Llywydd, if adopted, the Nationality and Borders Act

'would seriously undermine the protection of the human rights of trafficked persons, including children, increase risks of exploitation faced by all migrants and asylum seekers, and lead to serious human rights violations.'

'The bill fails to acknowledge the Government's obligation to ensure protection for migrant and asylum seeking children, and greatly increases risks of statelessness, in violation of international law'.

And it

'dismantles a core protection of democratic societies and pushes vulnerable people into dangerous situations.' 

And people

'who have experienced gender-based violence can be turned away from the UK rather than be allowed to seek and find safety.'

Well, Llywydd, this is the assessment of five independent United Nations human rights experts—five UN experts who have issued the most grave and heart-wrenching warning. And we've heard the strength of support evidenced today in this Chamber as to what this would mean for the people that we represent. A warning that, as we've heard, the Conservatives don't acknowledge and would prefer to simply dismiss, but, of course, we can't dismiss those.

Before we even get to the proposals to repeal human rights legislation, what we've heard today, from powerful speeches, is that this attack on human rights is already happening and already in place. It's been driven through by the UK Government with the legislation that we've debated this afternoon, not just the Nationality and Borders Act, which was passed last Thursday despite widespread opposition to it, but also the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act. And we've heard again of the fact that that, as the motion says, undermines the rights of minority communities and jeopardises the right of lawful and peaceful protests. The Counsel General made this quite clear in terms of what this means for our democracy and what we are seeing in terms of Putin's Russia as well. [Interruption.] These are warnings on ideological moves that we have today, stripping away our human rights.
