Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am sorry to interrupt the noble Lord, but we might be able to get an answer on this point. I have been absolutely clear all along that the holding power of arrest under PACE was three hours, and the Minister keeps talking about six hours. The noble Lord, Lord Avebury, has very kindly just handed me the UK Borders Act, which states absolutely clearly: ""An individual may not be detained under this section"—" which is on the designation of an immigration officer— ""for longer than three hours"." I had never understood it to be other than three hours. We discussed it as three hours in Committee ad nauseam, and no one corrected us. I believe that it is three hours unless the officer is a policeman, in which case the police are governed by different legislation.
