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 not sure it is possible to answer in those terms. I return to the point that there is a difficulty wherever the cut-off is. To take the proposition of the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, that we should go back to 1 January 1949—that was the nub of what he said—one could make a hard case that it is tough on the person who was born on 31 December 1948 or earlier. In terms of numbers, the further back one goes the fewer people who are discriminated against.
