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 seek to assist the noble Lord and make the matter absolutely clear to him when he reconsiders the position set out. The purpose of Clause 40 is to clarify the rights in law which I have just mentioned. They do not depend on the definition of "settled", which involves a test of ordinary residence that is subject to case law changes. That may or may not help the noble Lord. He is a far more distinguished expert on law than I shall ever be. I am grateful for his withdrawing the amendment.
