Proceeding contribution from Viscount Slim (Crossbench) 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 noble Lord, Lord Hylton. Surely we are looking at the making of citizenship. It is pertinent to ask if those seeking to stay here have an alternative passport. We all know that there are good reasons for having a couple of passports, as has been ably demonstrated. I hope the noble Lord will, as he has said, look at this. I will certainly not accuse him of wriggling. I liked his answer, which was measured and very good, but in a matter of citizenship we had better find out how many passports an immigrant has.
