Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, with the lateness of the hour I shall be succinct. We believe that all citizens who seek to become members of our community by being British citizens will have the advantages of and gain from the active citizenship proposals. We see no reason why refugees would want to exempt themselves from that or to be treated differently. We give them refugee status and the assistance that goes with it and I do not believe that that should exclude them from this group. If I can provide any more detail, I shall write to the noble Lord.
