Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Pilot) Regulations 2008.


Immigration (Biometric Registration) (Pilot) Regulations 2008

My Lords, I want to ask a little more about going to Croydon and postal applications. What the regulations do not say is that everyone making an application will have to go to Croydon to have their fingerprints taken and their face photographed. There is a sort of airy-fairy view here that someone will be able to apply by post and everything will be in place, but presumably so few biometric details are being held anywhere that everyone will have to trudge out to Croydon. I hope that that will be made clear in the application documents, because it certainly is not clear in the regulations.
