Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 October 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

The Minister, whom I thank for his long answer—yes, he is in a tough position, and it is a credit to him that he maintains his good humour throughout all this—used the term “suspension” over the September announcement. He described the October announcement as “adjacent” and a trail for what is to come. I guess we have to contain ourselves until we hear more about that, but the more that can be got into the public domain, so there is a public debate about the issue, the more helpful it will be.
