Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 13 July 2011 in the House of Lords, by Baroness Northover (Liberal Democrat).


Immigration: Advisory Service

Answer

My Lords, it is clearly regrettable that the Immigration Advisory Service’s trustees have decided to place the organisation in administration. However, the IAS is one provider in a wider market of immigration and asylum advice. The Legal Services Commission is identifying alternative provision for the areas affected, as well as making the necessary arrangements for case transfers.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 13 July 2011 by Baroness Hamwee (Liberal Democrat).
