Clause 39
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]
9:15 am

Phil Woolas (Minister of State (the North West), Home Office; Oldham East and Saddleworth, Labour)
It would help the Committee in its proceedings if I indicated that although it is our intent to remove the existing clause 39, it is also our intent to meet the argument that has been advanced at a later stage in the proceedings on the Bill. I will go on to explain our thinking in relation to that at the appropriate time.
