Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
It will no doubt have occurred to my hon. Friend that the Government’s regions often follow riparian boundaries; for instance, the south-eastern region includes Gravesend, Tilbury is in the eastern region, and London is next door to my constituency. Will we have a situation in which somebody in Gravesend says, ““I can’t come over because it’s another region””? Will a person in Rainham be unable to go down to Purfleet? The Minister’s proposal fills me with horror. While he is at it, can he deal with the West Lothian question? Why do clauses 1 to 4 exclude Scotland? Surely the issue is not devolved.
