UK Borders Bill

My great apologies for being very late for the Committee—there is a certain amount of chaos at Glasgow Airport at the moment. I understand that in reply to a previous question, when the Minister talked about the useful powers that will be given to immigration officers, he said that the Scottish Executive were satisfied that they had sufficient powers within their existing legislative framework. Could he offer some explanation of why the Scottish Labour Party had a clause in its manifesto to introduce measures parallel to what we are talking about in a Scottish serious crime Bill?
