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]

With respect to the noble Baroness, I do not believe that that actually explains clearly to the would-be citizen why active citizenship is a key part of the path. Therefore, it would not have the desired effect of the encouragement that we want to give. I suspect that it is one of those things that was there at the start of the consideration of names and was rejected for that reason.
