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 grateful to the noble Baroness for her comments. I understand the tease; different policy, different area, not for me. It is an interesting point. Proposed new Section 85A(4)(c) allows evidence to be submitted at the appeal to rebut a decision by the BIA that a document is not genuine or is invalid. I think I made this point earlier. We would envisage evidence being produced by the applicant to correct that kind of clerical, typographical or administrative error. I think that it would fall within that exception. The interpretation is sufficiently broad to enable that to be the case.
