Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

I fail to see why such assaults on immigration officers could not be dealt with under normal criminal law. Surely any court would take into account the fact that the assault was on an immigration officer and would treat that as an aggravating factor.
