Policing and Crime Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 December 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Policing and Crime Bill.

I take the point that different formulae are used in different parts of immigration law, but the Immigration Act to which I have referred provides for an officer to have “reasonable grounds for believing” something, while under this Bill, he simply has to “suspect” something. “Reasonable grounds for believing” seems to me to be a much tougher test than simply suspecting. The noble Baroness may have something she can share with the House on that.
