Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) 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

Before the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, finishes his reply, I must say that the point he raised about access to health and pregnancy services is extremely important. It applies particularly to those who have failed to establish an asylum application but cannot, for one reason or another, be removed from this country. If people are denied ordinary, normal healthcare, they are liable to become extremely depressed and to suffer mental health problems in addition to any destitution from which they may be suffering.
