Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill.

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

My Lords, I support Amendment No. 2 and commend the four points put to the Minister by the noble Baroness, Lady Warwick. It seems to me that a points system will reduce the scope for poor decisions by the entry clearance officer but it will not avoid judgment. It is particularly important—I add this point to those made by the noble Baroness, Lady Carnegy of Lour—that the review is at least overseen by someone who was not a party to or involved in the original decision.
