Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 July 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
We believe that someone who knows or suspects that what they are doing supports people smuggling has done enough to commit an offence. Requiring as an additional condition of the offence that a person must supply an article for financial benefit would weaken the offences in these clauses. Financial benefit is not relevant here; it is an additional, unnecessary and superfluous condition.
