Quite a string of defeats for @PritiPatel& #39;s #ImmigrationBill in the Lords today:

1) Peers backed by 304 votes to 224 a Labour-led demand for an independent review of the impact of ending #FreeMovement on #SocialCare, amidst warnings it could fuel staff shortages.

2) Peers then voted 312-223 to block financial #restrictions on Britons returning to the UK with their EU families from March 2022.

3) Next Lord Dubs& #39; amendment, to give EU children in care and care leavers automatic #IndefiniteLeaveToRemain was supported by 323 votes to 227.

4) Another amendment sponsored by Lord Dubs - to continue existing arrangements for #unaccompanied child refugees to be #reunited with close relatives in the UK, providing child refugees with a legal route to safety - was passed by 317 votes to 223.

5) And the Government lost by 298 votes to 192 on a cross-party amendment requiring @ukhomeoffice to provide physical proof of #SettledStatus / pre-Settled Status to successful applicants.
