Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.

UK Borders Bill

I must plead guilty to having originally asked for the degrouping of Amendments Nos. 27A and 30A from the following group, containing Amendments Nos. 28 to 30 and 66. I felt that the amendments dealt with radically different issues and had not appreciated, as the Deputy Chairman announced at the beginning of the debate, that if Amendment No. 27A was passed, Amendment No. 28 would fall by pre-emption. It was through failure to understand how pre-emption worked that I asked for a degrouping that was not helpful to the Committee. I entirely agree with the course that the noble Baroness, Lady Anelay, is taking.
