Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 February 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2011.


Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2011

Oh! The result of the Division in the House makes me feel even more uneasy. I also feel a little uneasy about the prospect of charging such students more. With regard to the new provisions explained in paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4 of the Explanatory Memorandum, will the Minister say what thought has gone into allowing fees to be charged to provide ““a route to … citizenship”” for children born outside the UK to members of our Armed Forces? It seems to me to be pushing it a little to charge members of the Armed Forces for this. I hope that the Minister can amplify the thinking behind that.
