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

It is worth reminding the Committee that the regulation-making power is the affirmative procedure. Noble Lords will have the opportunity to discuss this further then. I will not give the commitment that the noble Lord seeks, but I will read very carefully what he has said, and no doubt we will reflect on it. He will get another chance to look at this when the regulation is laid for consideration. The affirmative procedure is very powerful.
