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]
The path that we set out has both terms. We want to ensure that people coming to this country understand the need of the Government and the people of this country, who overwhelmingly support the concept of active citizenship and the roles that are required by it. We want these to be understood by migrants and for as many as possible of them to play their part and participate in the scheme. Therefore, although it is not mandatory, we want to encourage it.
