Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 February 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].

Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I am sorry to rise again, but I think that the Minister may need to get a reply to this point. Perhaps I may address him to Clause 14(5), which relates to disclosure of information. It states: "““This section is without prejudice to””." What on earth is the definition of ““without prejudice”” in this context? Who is the prejudice towards, and if there is no prejudice, why specify ““without prejudice””? I know that it is a legal term which crops up fairly often, but I do not know why it is included here. I shall be extremely grateful for a reply.
