Proceeding contribution from Gerald Kaufman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill.


Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

May I ask my right hon. Friend about another aspect of legal intervention, namely, the way in which solicitors batten on to immigrants in this country who have legal problems? They charge money even for applications and then botch cases. I heard of a case this very afternoon involving the appalling Thornhills company in Manchester, which has botched cases so that they have to come to Members of Parliament anyway. Will my right hon. Friend make solicitors involved in immigration matters registrable in the same way in which advisers are?
