Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I am very happy to follow the noble Lord, Lord Judd, because it seems to me that these clauses are far too widely drafted. For that reason, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia, for bringing forward these amendments. The worst offenders are probably Clauses 53 and 54. I say that because they provide no judicial procedure for the removal of citizens. It is appalling that the Secretary of State should be enabled to be prosecutor, judge and jury in such cases. Then we come to the phrase,"““conducive to the public good””." To my mind, that is a completely subjective criterion, given that there is no indication in the Bill of the tests that would be applied to determine it. These are very important amendments and I urge the Government to have second thoughts about them.
