Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) 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 hope that this will be easier for the Minister, because it is just a probing amendment. Since one of the routes to citizenship is through performing an exceptional Crown service and the Secretary of State is going to consider whether the applicant’s performance is so special that they can have citizenship, will the Minister kindly tell us exactly what an exceptional Crown service case will be, how it will be defined, how it will be known if it is seen and what the Secretary of State will take into account regarding an applicant’s performance for the service to be exceptional?
