Clause 33
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]
9:00 am
Crispin Blunt (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Reigate, Conservative)
I have a question about clause 33, although I was so overwhelmed by the Minister’s ability to turn these matters into English that I nearly missed the opportunity to ask it.
Subsection (2) states:
“An order under this section may amend or repeal section 32”.
It looks as though the Government intend to move to the scheme set out in clause 33, rather than that in clause 32, which looks to be a temporary arrangement. Will the Minister enlighten the Committee on whether that is the Government’s intention and give a sense of the time scale in which it might be achieved?
