Proceeding contribution from Lord Rosser (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Draft Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004 (Remedial) Order 2010.


Draft Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Act 2004 (Remedial) Order 2010

The quote I gave was actually from Mr Damian Green, the Minister for Immigration, who is on record in Hansard as saying that the increase in the reports of suspected sham marriages in 2010, "““shows that the certificate of approval scheme was becoming less effective, as well as the success of our crackdown on sham marriage and the subsequent publicity””.—[Official Report, Commons, Fifth Delegated Legislation Committee, 29/3/11; col. 4.]" So the person to whom I was attributing the success of the Government’s measures was not the noble Baroness but Mr Damian Green, the Minister for Immigration.
