Some of the amendments—Amendments 22, 25 and 27 —are looking at refugee family reunion and putting requirements on health assessments: where an applicant is applying from outside the UK, they will need to provide various health assessments. As it happens, at the moment they have to provide valid TB certificates and information on their health for the preceding six months. We require biometrics to be taken as part of the application and we support that assessment being made. So, again, I find myself wondering, are we tightening the proposals?
