Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

There is a great, gaping hole in the Government’s argument. However much the Minister may speak about the powers of the Home Secretary, no British Home Secretary in the House of Commons has ever had the power to impose on a sovereign nation state laws governing whom it should or should not take back, and to whom it should or should not give a passport and citizenship.
