Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Immigration Service.


Immigration Service

I regret the terminology that the hon. Gentleman chose to use in referring to those who are trying to carry out a difficult task. I hope that, on reflection, he will realise that what he said was a bit unfair on the people trying to do that job. In answer to his second question, when I make a statement in the House on behalf of the Government, it is on behalf of the whole Government.
