Proceeding contribution from Lord Brett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am slightly shocked. The noble Lord suggests that there has been a total climbdown by the Government. The Government have listened carefully to the wise words of noble Lords. I feel slightly hurt at being castigated when the Government have listened to the good sense of noble Lords and have moved considerably to meet them. I am genuinely very grateful, not for the combined opposition, but for the great co-operation we have had, none greater than from the late lamented Lord Kingsland, who made a great effort to meet the Government and to help us all to arrive at something which your Lordships could accept. The situation is not quite as the noble and learned Lord, Lord Lloyd of Berwick, understands it. My brief tells me that only fresh claims must be transferred; no other judicial reviews can be transferred at all. Motion on Amendments 17 to 19 agreed.
