UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
For example, regulations made under clause 5(2)(d) could require that any person required to apply should provide detailed information about their medical history, which could then be used for purposes that have nothing to do with immigration. Of course, the regulations will clarify the scope, but the ability of Parliament to determine that scope is limited. We are handing over this evening, to this Home Secretary, powers that have no circumscription. They have no limit and they have no necessary connection to the problem that we face in relation to immigration and asylum.
