Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Immigration Asylum and Nationality Bill 2005-06.


Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Kazakhstan, my noble friend says. Are there limits on the nature of the state in which the foreign law enforcement agency might have to be? My other question is whether the phraseology includes Europol and Interpol, which are international agencies to whom we now disclose specified information. As noble Lords may be aware, one of Europol’s functions is to provide information to national police forces that they need for preventing and investigating crime. Where information is disclosed to them for those purposes, member states may place restrictions on passing it on to named third parties. That is a useful safeguard, which I would like to see in this clause. The amendments proposed by the noble Lord, Lord Hylton, later on, are prompted by similar considerations.
