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
That is a perfectly reasonable point, and I thank the right hon. and learned Gentleman for accepting that we are trying to distinguish between those who commit an offence in error, and others. I would go slightly further and say that, if we ask others to do something, it is incumbent on the Government to make sure that our enforcement agencies are effective. If we have an ineffective enforcement agency, we can hardly ask those in the private sector to act in a fashion that we do not.
