Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (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]
I do not know whether the Minister had a chance to read the letters that I sent him, but the case that I quoted of Ms Barma is precisely on that footing—that the parents tried to register the child using the discretion in Section 27(1) and they were refused. The Minister has a copy of the letter of refusal, so I cannot see how he can maintain that it was possible for people to apply for discretionary leave.
