UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
My Lords, I thank the Minister for listening to us on this issue. In an area as sensitive as the one we are dealing with, where the Government are relinquishing their responsibility into the hands of agents, it is right that those agents should have to conform to the same practices as other people. I am grateful to the Minister for having taken the matter away and looked at it, and I am particularly grateful for the fact that it is now on the face of the Bill rather than only in the code of practice. We have not won on very much, so in thanking the Minister I will quit while we are winning on this one.
