Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

My Lords, I do not necessarily agree with the noble Lord. In most cases it will be acceptable. I understand the level of concern about this matter but we have a process here which should work better and which is fairer in the way it operates. I hope that I have answered the various points about fairness, language and access and so on. Those are important to this matter. We need to bear in mind the nature of the applicant that we are talking about.
