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 think we are just placing established policy on a statutory footing, but your Lordships made a point about the fear that one brother or sister born a year later than another, for example, would be disenfranchised. I am trying to provide reassurance that that is not the case.
