Amendments at Committee
Lord’s Committee takes place on 1 and 3 February next week and a number of amendments relating to asylum support have been tabled.
These include:
that clause 37 should not stand part of the Bill (which would mean that refused asylum seeking families with children would stay on S95 support);
that asylum seekers should have a right of appeal against a decision by the Home Office to refuse or discontinue s95A support;
and the move on period for those recognized as refugees before asylum support is cut off should be increased to 40 days.
In addition, important amendments have been tabled on
detention,
family reunion and
relocating 3,000 unaccompanied refugee children from European countries to the UK
– to name but a few! (the Government’s press release on this issue is attached). The full list of tabled amendments is available at: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2015-16/immigration/documents.html Continue reading “Immigration Bill continues”
