Lord Henley
Come on, my Lords. The noble Lord knows perfectly well that the Government’s doors remain open and that the Government are prepared to negotiate. It is the unions who are being intransigent and it is the party opposite which is refusing to condemn an action that will possibly endanger our security. Because of the actions we have taken, and have been taking since April of this year, we think that we will be able to keep security at the appropriate level at the borders on Wednesday.
Lord Cormack
My Lords, is my noble friend not aware that most people in this country will be glad that the Government attach the highest priority to our national security?
Lord Henley
I am very grateful for the support of my noble friend. I wish I could get similar support from noble Lords opposite.
