Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ludford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

The answer to that, as I said at the beginning, is to apply the law more efficiently. There is every benefit in making things above the law

and in regularising people’s right to work. The more we can bring people into the light of day—what they are doing, whether they are legally in the country and whether they have a right to work—the better for enforcement. What is so pernicious for public confidence in the asylum system is the idea that so much of what is done is not being properly regulated, enforced or managed. That is where the concentration and the focus has to be. Like my noble friend, I fully support this amendment.
