HL Deb 05 March 2001 vol 623 c7WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to implement Part III of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. [HL849]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 does not specify a date by which Part III has to be implemented. While it was not proposed to implement Part III before October 2001, the actual implementation date is currently under review and a final decision has yet to be taken.
