Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Marlesford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Immigration Bill.

My Lords, I am afraid that my noble friend has reinforced my argument, by indicating that the information is already being collected and it is only a matter of having it on the same record as the passport record. It would obviously be useful to know, once you know that somebody has another passport, when they are entering or leaving the UK on the other passport, which will often be screened. If it showed that that person had a British passport as well, that might well be a clue and be useful. But the fact is that they are collecting information and then not using it; that is my complaint. I shall withdraw the amendment, but I will come back to it on Report, when we can have a proper debate.
