Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

As my hon. Friend will know, my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, who is dealing with this matter, said in Committee before Christmas that he was undertaking the review that I have just mentioned, along with my hon. and learned Friend the Solicitor-General and the Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, my hon. Friend the Member for Stevenage. They will visit Sweden on Thursday to examine the legislative position there. In the context of the amendments that were not considered today, my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department has said he will ensure that the issues are considered in another place following a review of the legislation and the visit to Sweden. That may involve legislation in another place and in this place at a future date, but he will examine the issues in detail. I appreciate the concerns that Members have expressed, but I must make some progress now.
