Amendment 57B
Part of Illegal Migration Bill - Committee (3rd Day) – in the House of Lords at 6:45 pm on 7th June 2023.
Lord Berkeley of Knighton Crossbench 6:45pm, 7th June 2023
My Lords, my point, which I hope is a helpful one, follows on from what the noble Baroness has said but also from what the Minister said about the need for interpreters; he was talking about Clause 55, but I can see the same thing happening here.
A few months ago in your Lordships’ House we discussed the whole nature of the qualification of interpreters. We came to a conclusion that, sadly, this was often wanting. Justice and democracy are served only if people who have to make a case for themselves are understood, and if they are talking to someone who can put their case cogently. My question to the Minister is: when he talks about interpreters, is he talking about people who will be adequately qualified?
