Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
I do not think the Minister is doing it; he is relying on voluntary organisations and so on to disseminate this information. He referred to cost, but there is hardly any cost in comparison with the massive bills we have to meet when people are not given information and are not told where they can go to find help and assistance. I know how invaluable the CAB is in my own area, but they are not located at ports of entry. Would there be any difficulty whatever in the Government producing a leaflet and distributing it to people as they arrive in the UK at coach stations and so on? Could not the Government produce a leaflet of perhaps 16 or 20 pages, in each language, informing people of where they can find help if they get into trouble? It would cost little. The noble Baroness has attacked the Liberal Democrats, and she seems to think that the Government should pay for everything. Is that the new Conservative policy?
