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]

Not quite. Those who apply before the new system comes into operation will be dealt with entirely under the present arrangements. There will have to be transitional arrangements for those other persons who are in the system and have already applied but whose cases will not necessarily have been dealt with. I think that it would be better if I set out in a note how the transitional arrangements will apply. We have not devised precisely how they will apply—we are still working on that—but I can certainly send an interim note setting out why we think that we need to have transitional arrangements and to whom they will apply.
