Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.

UK Borders Bill

I hesitate to interrupt the noble Earl’s flow, but Section 9 does not apply during the early part of the process. It does not apply until we are well past the decision being made. I really do not want it to be felt that somehow we are treating families—children in particular—at all adversely, for most of the time; in fact for nearly all of the time, because the law does not allow us to do so. I urge noble colleagues to apply some precision to the debate.
