Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 March 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I am delighted for the noble Lord; I now know where to go for legal assistance if I ever get into trouble. Between that and the success of the Welsh rugby team, it has been a good day for him. The provision makes no difference at all to refugee status. The Jewish refugees coming before the Second World War would still have had refugee status; the same would apply today. I was hoping to have received a specific answer from the Box on whether the Afghanis would be excluded under this but I have not had one yet. Perhaps I can take that away and get back to the noble Lord before Report.
