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 reluctant to accept the noble Earl’s words, because I would not necessarily recognise the description of a case that the noble Earl has come up with. It would very much depend on the circumstances of the case, but I make the point that there may well have to be cases—very few in number, perhaps one, two, three or four a year; I have no idea—where there has been a wilful refusal to co-operate and we have to make use of this particular provision, but I say to the Committee that it would be in very few cases indeed.
