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]
When much of this voluntary activity is to be devolved to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is it appropriate that the Secretary of State here in London should have the final word on the type of volunteering that would be acceptable in the devolved areas? If this amendment comes before us again, should we not devolve that decision to the Assembly in Wales and the Parliament in Scotland so that those who are in touch with the grass roots will be the people who decide whether an activity is of benefit to the individual or the wider community?
