Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) 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

Before the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, stands up, I want to clarify this. Can the Minister help me to understand this better? Is he saying that, in certain circumstances, it would be preferable to make a family destitute rather than take those people into a removal centre and hold them there until they are taken out of the country? Perhaps I have not understood the argument properly. Is that what the Minister is saying?
