Late Night Levy (Application and Administration) Regulations 2012

Baroness Smith of Basildon Excerpts

Thursday 19th July 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Henley]

That the draft regulations be referred to a Grand Committee.

[Baroness Smith of Basildon]

My Lords, I had understood from press reports and a Written Ministerial Statement last night that, in light of a Supreme Court judgment yesterday, immigration orders or regulations would be laid today. Can the Minister enlighten us as to what form those may take and when noble Lords are likely to have sight of them?

[The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Henley)]

My Lords, I issued a Written Ministerial Statement last night in response to that judgment from the Supreme Court. I can give an assurance to the noble Baroness that we will be laying orders later today and that they will be available in the Printed Paper Office.
