Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 January 2025

Debate

Refugees (Family Reunion) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 7 calls for huge detail in the statement setting out the rules, and for a statement “every six months”. There is nothing to stop the Home Office collecting the information referred to, but to have rules that are in some way contingent on revision every six months is a burden on the Home Office and, I think, on applicants on a visa route, who would not know whether there were to be changes made if they are on the way.
