Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) 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 accept that there should be a cut-off point because of the nature of the rights that existed before and after 1949, not simply on the ground that there must be a cut-off point somewhere. I accept it because of the different legal situation that British women marrying foreigners were in before and after 1949.
