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

Perhaps the noble Lord would permit me to say this: it is extremely unwise to exchange and trade cases across the Committee Floor when dealing with the principles of a provision. When we are considering broad principles, I am not going to be put in a position of making the judgment of Daniel on each individual case that someone brings up in Committee. That is not the right way to proceed. If the noble Lord has such a case, and wishes to draw it to my attention, I shall certainly be happy to process it by way of correspondence, but that does not necessarily take us further in looking at this Bill.
