Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].


Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, that is quite a difficult question which I need to think about a little more carefully. Can I have a think about exactly what a "legitimate purpose" is, and get my lawyers to look at exactly what it is, before I make a statement here? I refuse to call myself a simple sailor again, but I can see myself stepping into a great Pooh trap over some definition.
