Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Viscount Bledisloe (Crossbench). It was answered on Tuesday, 5 June 2007.


Asylum Seekers: Verification of Claims

Question
My Lords, the noble Baroness rightly said that the rules of the House prevented her answering the supplementary question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Janner. Do not the same rules apply to the speech made by the noble Lord in his supplementary question?
Answer

My Lords, I have tried to differentiate between the active case and the point of law. The point of law is subject to open debate, but I have tried to explain that I cannot talk about the facts of the case and I hope that all noble Lords will adhere to that procedure, because that is what we are all bound to do in this House.
