Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

Home Office officials have to go and look at the board on the wall in the register office. Could we not change the law?
