Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
I cannot have been listening very closely. I do not remember him doing so, but I will read Hansard and see whether the explanation given by the Minister at the beginning of his remarks satisfies me. In general, it is a mistake for draftsmen to give groups of clauses headings that do not correspond to the Bill. I believe that that has happened in this case. We keep on talking about registration—a word that occurs both in the heading given to the clause and to the group—but nowhere in the Bill is registration mentioned. That is anomalous. Nevertheless, I am grateful to the Minister for his explanations to the Committee and, for the time being, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
