Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 January 2025

Debate

Refugees (Family Reunion) Bill [HL]

Contribution

On the health assessment, as the Minister said, the Home Secretary has powers to require a TB certificate. I am not sure how this amendment would work. The application would not be made until the applicant is in the UK. It would be challenging in the countries my noble friend referred to. I do not think it is a practical arrangement, as was suggested by the Opposition Front Bench.
