Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 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 apologise to the Minister and to your Lordships, for the Minister helpfully arranged a timely meeting with Jeremy Oppenheim, the Children’s Champion, earlier this week. It was arranged at fairly late notice late last week and I was involved in a conference and visiting a children’s home outside London. II would very much have liked to have contacted some Members of the Committee so that they could have been at that meeting and heard the responses from Jeremy Oppenheim. Some of tonight’s debate might perhaps have been curtailed in consequence. I apologise to the Minister and I am most grateful. The meeting was extremely helpful.
