Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

My Lords, where I have a feeling that I can make a contribution to the Bill, I will make it, and where I do not, I will not. I broadly support the amendment. It is clear that the appeals system does not always work correctly. Where evidence is produced late, which is what the amendment is about, it needs to be considered at the same time where possible so that the ruling is not delayed. As my noble friend supported either this amendment or something similar in Grand Committee, we hope the Minister will be able to make some movement on this.
