Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Lewis (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a very interesting speech. Does she agree that the UN refugee convention was about our common humanity? I have heard a lot of talk about a “great country”, but what we see now from this Government is an attempt to split humanity into two tiers. That undermines the concept of human rights and of there being one, sole, universal understanding of what it is to be a

human being. This Government are putting humanity into categories, and history tells us that that is a slippery slope and fundamentally wrong.
