Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) 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, I support the amendment, because we need some clarity on what just changing names does. I am not at all clear either why we could not stay with the names that people understand and know. The only people who are not going to get confused are those who are coming into the system right at the beginning. Sometimes it is better just to leave things as they were. The noble Baroness has put it very well. We are trying to do something that makes things better, not just tinker around with the words.
