I thank our guests for attending. I appreciate their voicing their opinions on the matter. I will ask four questions.

I will start with Laura. I hope she will forgive me, as I cannot see her surname. She will have to allow me to call her just Laura. Like a number of contributors, she stated that the habitual residence condition, HRC, was an issue. How can the problem be overcome, not only from the perspective of those groups seeking to protect women and men in domestic violence scenarios, but also in the sense of protecting the integrity of the immigration services, given that we would be providing a particular right to one over another?
