Proceeding contribution from Lord Hylton (Crossbench) 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]
In his reply, the Minister mentioned east African Asians. Would I be correct in deducing from that that the Government fear that if the amendment were to be accepted, large numbers of people would want to come from Hong Kong to live here? The noble Lord also said that those affected could apply for residence or citizenship elsewhere. Where in the rest of the world does he seriously think that that will happen? On what grounds should other states accept applications for either residence or citizenship?
