Proceeding contribution from Baroness Falkner of Margravine (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 1 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].


Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am encouraged by the Minister’s response. As the noble Baroness, Lady Howe, said, this is deeply discriminatory against a small group of men. I am, however, reassured that we will continue to hold discussions during the Bill’s passage. I thank other noble Lords who have spoken, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 47 withdrawn. Amendment 48 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.
