Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, will he say where in the code of practice on children detention is mentioned? I read the code through before coming to the Chamber and I could not find it. My noble friend has now read most of it and he has not been able to find it. We do not think that detention is mentioned in the code of practice, except where the introduction indicates that the intention is to develop practices regarding detention. Therefore, there is nothing substantive for us to get our teeth into.
