Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) 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 am grateful to the noble Earl, Lord Sandwich, for his intervention. Could we have a response at some point to his comments on the gateway programme? I am not sure whether those who come in under that programme are treated as being in the protection route or as coming in for work. As I understand the gateway programme, they get into employment once they arrive here, so one would have thought they were counted in the work route. Since the Minister has given us no enlightenment on that, perhaps we could ask for a written note.
