Proceeding contribution from Lord Kerr of Kinlochard (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 November 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Migration: Settlement Pathway.


Migration: Settlement Pathway

I am not disagreeing with the noble Lord at all; he is completely correct about France. I am just sad that one of the defining features of this country—something we used to be proud of—is slipping. I agree that the change does not take us out of line with a lot of our neighbours, but it is nevertheless undesirable for our society.
