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

We are talking about the United Nations convention on the protection of migrant workers. However, as the noble Lord rightly points out, there is also the 1977 Council of Europe convention on migrant workers which the United Kingdom has not signed either. The Select Committee recommended that the Government should accede to the Council of Europe convention, as the noble Lord suggests, but that is not to say that we should not do both.
