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]

I am not necessarily saying that that would be the case. The design group will work on this. Undoubtedly, the design group will discuss with the organisations that it represents what would be, in each case, a considered amount of voluntary activity. We have to avoid, on the one hand, someone delivering one leaflet for a good cause on one day being equal to, on the other, someone spending lunchtimes helping out at a local community centre two days a week for two years. That is for the design group’s consideration and will undoubtedly form part of its recommendations when it has completed its work.
