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, let me get this right. Is it the Minister’s intention to charge only the recovery cost of the BIDs, and not to take advantage of Section 42 of the treatment of claimants Act to recoup more than the administrative costs of providing the BIDs? If that is what he has just said, I am very pleased to hear it and I warmly welcome the decision not to do so.
