Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 October 2024

Debate

Immigration (Guidance on Detention of Vulnerable Persons) Regulations 2024

Contribution

The committee reports that the data does not provide compelling evidence either way on the need for the second-opinion policy, and suggests that the Home Office should monitor the effects closely. My addition is that that may be more difficult in the absence of an impact assessment. The committee adds that the Home Office should publish the results—quite right. I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say about that, as well as the subject of this SI.
