Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

The Minister is distinguished by the courtesy with which he has dealt with these matters. He has mentioned that when there is compulsion, there is unfortunately always a need to have some recourse. Given that we are dealing with children as well as adults, will he explain why the courtesies have been removed from the border arrangements in all those circumstances and why there is no question of asking anybody anything? There are no pleases or thank yous, and the whole process has become peremptory. Is that not a bad thing, particularly when we are dealing with children?
