Lord Keen of Elie: ...level. So, for example, we have no difficulty with regard to our dealings with the US federal agencies; there is always an element of goodwill and recognition arising there.

That lies at the heart of the decision that the British people made in the...

Gill Furniss: ...of State made any assessment of the impact of the drop in applications on the NHS, and, if so, what action does he propose to take to ensure that it does not affect the health and safety of patients? The proposal in the Queen’s Speech for an immigration Bill provides no details to reassure those EU citizens currently living in the UK. Labour has been calling for all their rights to...

Lord Cunningham of Felling: ...unnecessarily? Is not the noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh, quite right that the seasonal workers scheme worked perfectly well? People came and then they left.

Scottish Parliament: Refugees and Asylum Seekers (United Kingdom Government Policy) (28 Jun 2017)
Angela Constance: I met the then Minister of State for Immigration, Robert Goodwill MP, on 11 October 2016 and discussed a number of issues that affect refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland.

I highlighted the new Scots refugee integration...
Queen’s Speech - Debate (4th Day) (27 Jun 2017)
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth: ...construction workers in the EU. That too we must take on board. I accept that, and in areas where there will be shortages of labour, we need to take that into account as we move forward. This guiding principle will apply to the immigration Bill, which will repeal EU rules on free movement. We will then consult on what is put in place as the UK’s policy. As my noble friend Lady...
Debate on the Address: Education and Local Services (27 Jun 2017)
David Linden: ...is only then that the most vulnerable in our society are left isolated, often with no community support. At a time when hard-hitting decisions are being taken about the nation’s finances, and at a time when there is a smokescreen debate raging about immigration, we must consider how we treat others, both as legislators and human beings. During my time in this House, I will remember...

Scottish Parliament: European Union Negotiations and Scotland’s Future (27 Jun 2017)
...Westminster; this is also an opportunity for us to argue for and win new powers for this Parliament. No longer is it acceptable—and this is not just Scotland’s view—for powers over things such as immigration to be centralised at Westminster, because the Westminster approach to such issues is damaging the interests of our economy. Thirdly, we want commitments on funding to...
Queen’s Speech - Debate (3rd Day) (Continued) (26 Jun 2017)
Baroness Altmann: ...Queen’s Speech rightly calls for an end to prejudice on the basis of gender, faith, race, disability or sexuality, but what about age? Can my noble friend the Minister explain why this was missing? Reducing immigration makes it increasingly important to tackle the ageism that still pervades Britain’s labour market. With an ageing population, the more we can encourage full-time...
