UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
My Lords, I am happy to accept the noble Lord’s assurances, which it is useful to have on the record. We look forward to further scrutiny of what is to be in the document when we get the regulations. I repeat that if we are not satisfied when we get the regulations, there will be nothing we can do about it at the time because, in spite of the Minister’s arguments in favour of the power of such regulations, they very seldom get voted down, as he knows perfectly well, and they cannot be debated on the Floor of the House. However, it has been useful to get on the record what the Minister has said about the limitations to be built into the biometric immigration document. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
