Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 July 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
There was one more late amendment that came in very recently: Amendment 51A, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee, which aims to add “hygiene products” to the list of carved-out items for the articles for use in an immigration crime offence in Clause 15. I just remind the House, as a beginning point, that this offence does not criminalise specific articles, but criminalises those who supply or handle articles with the knowledge or suspicion that the articles are for use for the purposes of relevant immigration crime, namely Sections 24 and 25 of the Immigration Act 1971.
