Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
I am slightly mystified by the hon. Gentleman’s speech. I have found, through speaking to veil-wearing women in my constituency, that when they go through entrance and exit ports they go into a room, remove their veil and show their face to a female immigration officer. That is what happens at the moment, so I am a bit mystified as to the merit of reinforcing that by introducing a provision that simply does the same thing.
