Clause 23
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington, Liberal Democrat)
I am anticipating with joy and glee how the Minister will extricate himself from the amendment and explain it away, given that his Government proposed it. I believe that it sets out a useful blow-by-blow account of the steps that must be taken of a designated immigration officer who detains an individual. It is useful that such action is documented. The proposal seems sensible and it has a good pedigree, so I await the hon. Gentleman’s reply with interest.
