Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

It is as though I am in a dream. Every time that I speak in an asylum debate, I spend five minutes paying huge compliments to the hon. Gentleman about his tremendous speech—[Interruption.] I am far too generous, as my hon. Friend the Member for Hertford and Stortford (Mr. Prisk) points out—only for the hon. Gentleman to make a not-very-kind intervention on me. I can answer him very well indeed. There is a major difference between our policy and the Labour party’s policy, and it is simply this: we believe in controlled immigration. It appears to me, given what previous Home Secretaries have said, that Labour do not believe in immigration controls.
