Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (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, as someone who has had a house in Ireland for 35 years, perhaps I may correct something the Minister said. I travel there about five times a year and you do not need a passport to get into Cork; you need only a means of identification. I take my passport because it is a good means, but you do not need to have one as such.
