Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) 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

Is my noble friend saying that employers should not require any form of documentation before considering whether to employ someone? Is he saying that person X turns up, meets an employer and is given a job without any form of check on his status? I find that very surprising. Currently, employers would probably require to see a birth certificate or a passport.
