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

It may well be the case that they are dealt with by other provisions. But I make the point that there will be hard cases—very few over time—where we will need to apply this provision. Nevertheless, the provision has value in those hard, exceptional cases when there has been wilful refusal to leave when the process of applying for asylum has reached its end point and people have decided to flaunt that decision.
