Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].

Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I speak to Amendment 116; I hope that I am not speaking out of place. It might be interpreted as also including those children and young people about whom there is some uncertainty as to whether they are children or adults. This has been a bone of contention for a long time. I look to the noble Lord, Lord Avebury. It may be better to save this for a later debate. Very good; I will.
