Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill 2005-06.
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill
The Minister is correct to say that amendment No. 32 covers what we were seeking. I am grateful to him for that amendment. I also recognise he has dealt with a problem by introducing amendment No. 30, which relates to section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. The question that has not been answered is whether section 4 support—non-accommodation support—must be given in vouchers or whether it can be given in cash. He did not answer that in Committee or in a parliamentary question to him. If he would undertake to write to give a definitive answer about whether there is a statutory bar on paying cash or whether it is just his wish, the Liberal Democrats would certainly be very grateful.
