Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

I see no reason why we would not adopt an approach similar to that which we have taken previously. I have not consider that exact point, and I would need to look at the hon. Gentleman's amendments, but he might recall that—this is my recollection—we made a distinction between civil service roles that clearly require a nationality qualification, because they are sufficiently high-ranking or linked to security or defence, and those that do not. That seems to be a sensible way to proceed, and I look forward to seeing his amendments in due course.
