My Amendment 23 would introduce an important safeguard by requiring the Secretary of State to consider intelligence from a range of trusted agencies, including the National Crime Agency, HM Coastguard and international bodies such as Interpol, before granting family reunion status. The amendment would strengthen the integrity of the immigration system by ensuring that decisions were informed by comprehensive and credible evidence. It reflects the Government’s duties to prioritise public safety and national security, ensuring that no individual who poses a potential threat is granted entry. By embedding these safeguards, the amendment would enhance public confidence in the family reunion process.
