UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
My Lords, I am prepared to say that—and I do not want to get into the practice of jumping back into debates—I think the noble Lord's figures were entirely speculative. I am not going to deal with figures that I do not think have sufficient veracity. Obviously our officials keep these matters under careful and detailed review; and it is right that we try to speed up the process of looking at and resolving legacy cases because that helps strengthen our system of immigration control.
