Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Conservative) 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

I am most grateful to the Minister for giving way. I have not looked up the relevant legislation; it occurred to me only when we were having the debate this afternoon. However, my recollection is that the person whom I have described as a subordinate constable—I have not been able to get the title right—did not actually have the right to detain; he simply had the right to request the individual to remain. Therefore, any explanation of why we are going from half an hour to three hours might also include a reference to why detention is granted to a contracted person whereas somebody who is actually wearing the uniform of Her Majesty in the subordinate capacity is allowed only to ask the person to wait until a constable arrives.
