Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Keen of Elie (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

In the context of drafting statutory provision, it was not considered that the addition of such words as “most”, “much” or “very” would add anything to the proper construction of the provision. However, the policy guidance is there. It is absolutely clear, and both in this place and the other place it has been said that the policy will apply in the context of “very exceptional circumstances”.
