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

First, rule number one is never look a gift horse in the mouth. Secondly, I have heard all sides of the Committee on this. Thirdly, I have drawn the conclusion that we ought at least to have an all-party discussion on it to see if there is some way to ensure that there is greater rationality behind the position we are in. That would probably be most helpful.
