Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 October 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

My Amendments 7 and 12 in this group would not challenge Clauses 13 and 14 but would ensure that we do not sweep up people who are not smugglers along with the smugglers at whom the clauses are aimed. Clause 14(2) makes it an offence where there is knowledge or suspicion that items are to be used in connection with an immigration offence.
