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 Home Office is in daily contact with the UNHCR. I say that from the experience of my previous role in international affairs within the United Nations. We are clear on many of the views of the UNHCR and there will be dialogue between our colleagues and the UNHCR. Of this I am sure. I am also sure that we will take on board the strongly held views of my noble friend and others to ensure that we are in a position when we come back to this on Report to be helpful and informative in respect of the UNHCR.
