Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Llandudno (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]
Perhaps I may come in on this, please, as a former probationary Methodist minister. In probation, if you do not do something, you are out; in qualifying, you are building blocks and moving forward. You have various things—volunteering, learning a language and so on. If you do not do them, you are in trouble. Would it not be better to do this in a more positive manner, by building up? Then, at last, you achieve the citizenship that you desire.
