Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

Let me see whether I understood the Minister correctly. The provisions regarding the penalties for assaulting an immigration officer were designed with Section 281 in mind. They will come into effect on the same day as Section 281 and the implementation of custody plus. Section 281 is designed to come in to effect when custody plus is implemented. I do not think that he said that the same applies to the provisions in the Bill, but it was implicit in his remarks. I hope I understood him correctly.
