An issue that had not occurred to me until it was brought to my attention through an article is that the proposed changes to those who are regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority need to be thought about. There are apparently two separate areas of accreditation depending on whether a person wishes to carry out immigration work or asylum work, but the changes to refugee family reunion have, in effect, moved this work from the asylum category into the immigration category, so accreditation is now very confused and lawyers may not have the accreditation they think they have. I am happy to expand on that a little for the Minister after today, if that would be helpful, though it may well already have been brought to his attention.
