Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

In all the debates that I have heard on the Floor of the House and in Committee, I have yet to hear a more misguided mischaracterisation of poor practice than I have just heard. I am sad that the hon. Gentleman did not have the chance in Committee to listen to the praise that was lavished on the front-line immigration service and the work that it does. Will the hon. Gentleman further consider the remarks that he has just made—and those that he is about to make—and temper them, bearing in mind the extraordinary job that the immigration service does for this country?
