Migration bill climbdown on detention limits for children
By Helen Catt & Joshua Nevett BBC Politics
The UK government has changed its Illegal Migration Bill to limit detention periods for children and pregnant women.
MPs will vote on Tuesday on 20 changes backed by peers in The House of Lords.
While Conservative MPs are expected to reject most changes, ministers have made concessions to get The Bill through Parliament.
The Bill is central to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 's pledge to stop small boats crossing the English Channel .
The Bill has been brought into sharper focus by the latest figures on crossings, which showed More Than 1,000 migrants made the Dangerous Journey over Two Days last week.
Mr Sunak's spokesman said The Number of crossings was " still too large" and could escalate further over the summer.
The Illegal Migration Bill is the government's attempt to deter people from making The Crossing by toughening up The Rules and conditions around Seeking Asylum .
The Bill originally removed the existing time limits on how long unaccompanied children and pregnant women could be detained, but they were reinstated by peers in The Lords .
Now an amendment has been tabled to allow immigration bail to be granted After Eight days to unaccompanied children in detention.
The government has also agreed to keep the current limit on detaining pregnant women at 72 hours.
Another new change means the duty on the home secretary to remove anyone entering the UK without permission will only apply when the legislation becomes law, not retrospectively.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the amendments would " help this crucial legislation pass through Parliament swiftly, whilst continuing to send a clear message that the exploitation of children and vulnerable people, used by criminals and ferried across the Channel, cannot continue".
The government's efforts to curb The Number of small boats crossing the Channel have been hampered in Parliament and the courts.
A plan to house asylum seekers on a barge moored in Dorset has been delayed.
And the government's policy of sending migrants to Rwanda is set for a legal battle in the Supreme Court .
The Bill would place a legal duty on the government to detain and remove migrants arriving in the UK illegally, either to Rwanda or another " safe" third country.
The government has stressed it remains committed to its plan to remove migrants to Rwanda, and has said it will challenge a Court of Appeal ruling last week that This Was unlawful.
