Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 February 2024. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill.
Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill
I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. My complaint about the use of the term “foreign court” was not due to any discomfort, but because people such as himself and the leader of his party encourage people to call courts which are not foreign courts “foreign”. They are courts of organisations which we have endowed with certain powers, and which often have British judges on their tribunals. That is my complaint.
