As the grandson of asylum seekers, I am pleased by Nick Clegg's announcement that children will no longer be held in immigration detention centres (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/8204528/Nick-Clegg-ch...). This is a Liberal Democrat manifesto commitment and I am very proud that it is being implemented. No civilised country should lock up innoncent children.
