Each one was accompanied by the same round assertions that the Home Secretary has said this afternoon that they would bring fairness to our immigration system, fairness to our asylum system. They did not.
The Home Office website tells us there have been well over 150 pieces of primary legislation or policy changes on immigration since 1988 - and I've been in the House for some of them.
And even at this late stage, maybe the Home Secretary will reconsider this legislation that she's bringing forward.
