Proceeding contribution from Lord Brett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 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 have frequently said that the Government believe that we need to have greater integration of citizens and provide both a strengthening of the route and an incentive to accelerate it. In terms of strengthening, we are now bringing conformity to the two separate groups of those who choose not to take active citizenship, and therefore wait the additional time, and those who take active citizenship and gain the advantages thereto.
