Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill 2005-06.

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Does that mean that we have to rely on the Government finding a solution to Clause 1? There is not a fall-back position for the Government if they do not. Is the Minister guaranteeing that there will be some alternative arrangements such as we discussed under Clause 1 which will make an amendment of this kind—or the intention of the amendment—unnecessary? If not, I do not see how the Minister can fulfil the undertaking not just to refrain from criminalising the people whom we are considering but also to ensure that stamps are not put in their passports. How else can that be ensured if the Minister is not successful in coming up with an alternative solution under Clause 1?
