<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Clause 18 (which is now Clause 19) of the Immigration Bill
will be relevant to all immigration and deportation decisions engaging the right to
respect for private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on
Human Rights, including where a child is the applicant or is a family member of the
applicant or of the person facing deportation. Careful regard has been had to the
best interests of children in the UK in framing the Clause, in line with the children's
duty under section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009, but we
have made no broader assessment of the number of children who will be affected.</p><p>
