Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 7 July 2010.
Refugee and Migrant Justice
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the ability of other providers of legal services to absorb the caseload of Refugee and Migrant Justice.
- Answer
-
The Legal Services Commission (LSC) has recently run a tender exercise for asylum and immigration contracts from October 2010. There has been significant long-term interest in the work from organisations, both not-for-profit organisations and private solicitor firms. Ongoing cases for Refugee and Migrant Justice's clients are currently in the process of being reallocated to other immigration providers who can progress their cases. The LSC is also working with immigration providers to ensure continued availability of services for clients detained at immigration removal centres.
