Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

Amendments 25 and 26 would limit the people to whom disclosures may be made to designated customs officials, immigration officers, the Secretary of State by whom general customs functions are exercisable, ministers in his or her department and the Director of Border Revenue. Amendment 26 probes why restrictions in Part 1 or in other enactments or agreements—I refer to subsection (3)— should not apply to the disclosure of other information as well as customs information. We have discussed the track record of the Government and we feel that Clause 14 should be drawn as narrowly as possible. I beg to move.
