Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
My commitment to my right hon. Friend is to continue to listen to those arguments. If he will forgive me, we will take things one stage at a time. From 2008, we will introduce biometric visas for everybody who seeks to come to the country to work or study, or to stay for longer than six months. The Bill is intended to ensure that the 3.9 million third-country nationals who are already here are put on the same kind of footing. But, of course, we will listen to arguments about its further extension.
