Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill.

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

My Lords, will the Minister pick up a question raised by the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, about members of religious orders who enter on a completely different basis from the stipend which a minister of religion might receive? It is good to know that the benefit in kind of housing will be taken into account in assessing the value of the overall package provided, but religious orders are international bodies. There is considerable movement between them. This applies to all the different religions. There may occasionally be problems with religious leaders being imported from elsewhere. Can the Minister give an assurance that that point is also taken into account in the points-based system?
