Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) 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 say in her reply whether she has had sight of the distinguished counsel’s legal opinion that the noble Earl, Lord Listowel, was kind enough to copy to my noble friend Lord Dholakia and me, which contradicts the Minister’s repeated assertion that if the amendment were passed the immigration system would become unworkable? I wonder whether the Minster has had time to study that. If she has not yet done so, could she do so and convey further advice to her colleagues in another place, who will have to consider the matter in further detail.
