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 I can help the noble Lord. He has been very helpful in getting us back to more sensible territory. A code of guidance will be made available to case workers dealing with the matter. Yes, of course, the issues raised in the debate by noble Lords from the Liberal Democrat Benches and others are exactly those kinds of issues—we are dealing with hard cases at the extreme end—that will need to be considered by case workers. Yes, the code of practice is where we need to try to tease out some of those issues so that the right decisions are made.
