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 am always reluctant to give absolute guarantees because there can always be other cases. I return to my earlier point that I do not think that would be right, and I think the Committee would be badly advised by me if I were to make that kind of commitment. It depends on the nature of the case; it depends on the individual circumstances; and it depends on whether there is a desire in the household to leave voluntarily. All of those matters may have an application. So I shall not make that absolute commitment, and I do not think that it would be right or proper to do so.
