Proceeding contribution from Baroness Carnegy of Lour (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration Asylum and Nationality Bill.

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

My Lords, there is a serious point here. The Minister said that the purpose of the amendment was to make the provision unambiguous. She did not know the word; I certainly did not. The noble Lord, Lord Avebury, looked it up and told us what the dictionary says. If the amendment really means the passage of time, it should say so; if it means the expiry of time, it should say so. It is not a good idea deliberately to include a word—presumably for some reason or other—if one can use a synonym which is perfectly acceptable and which everybody understands.
