Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) 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 agree. That is a very good point; I have no difficulty with it at all. I am particularly unqualified to guess people’s ages, because I always get them very wrong. If we are doing this particularly brilliantly at the moment, I will be fascinated to find out why we should change the way in which we do it. Generally, administrators do not aim to cock things up, if noble Lords will excuse my French. They do things for good reasons, so I will certainly get back to noble Lords and explain why this is happening.
