Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

I broadly agree with the Minister. The previous drafting basically allowed the Home Secretary to do anything he or she liked with the information. The new provisions are slightly tighter in relation to immigration, borders and nationality, until we get to paragraph (f), which contains the phrase:"““for such other purposes…as the regulations may specify.””" Can the Minister give us a little comfort by confirming that the initial drafting of the regulations will be tight and that it is not the intention to return to what we had in the original Bill?
