Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) 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 would be inclined to adopt a rather simpler approach than my noble friend. The Minister has not explained why we now need any cut-off point. Why do we not simply give right of abode or citizenship to those who have a foreign father and a British mother? The noble Lord gets all tied up in dates and when we did this and when we did that, but he has not explained—I am sorry if it is not in his brief—why we need a cut-off point.
