Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Asylum (Designated States) (No. 2)Order 2005.


Asylum (Designated States) (No. 2)Order 2005

My Lords, the noble Lord makes a valid point which I am sure will be relayed to the Home Secretary. Obviously, I cannot comment on what the Home Secretary’s view on that might be. However, as I say, the issue can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The noble Lord referred to the Country of Origin Information Service website. I believe that the point he made in that regard is not correct as I have the relevant print out to hand. We believe that the Nigeria report is on that website. If the noble Lord has had difficulty accessing it, I apologise, but I am happy to pass this to him. I think it indicates that he may well be wrong on that point. I am grateful to the noble Lord for all of his questions and points, and apologise if I have not answered them all precisely. I have done my best in the time that I have, and we are happy to provide other details which the noble Lord feels may be missing. As I said earlier, we will happily share those with other of your Lordships who have an interest, and place a copy in the Library of the House. On Question, Motion agreed to.
