UK Borders Bill

That is the same judgment that fails in 20 per cent of cases. At the initial stage, a decision is made on whether to accept an asylum application. When those go forward to appeal, in 20 per cent of cases the people judging the appeal decide that the judgment of the case manager was wrong and that the person should not be removed. I understand that that is to be the position. I welcome the fact that the Government are seeking to support them better and are improving their recruitment in this area, but they are human beings, just as you and I are, and are deciding whether families should be made destitute. I therefore urge the Minister and the children’s champion at the Border and Immigration Agency to think again and to withhold this power for immigration officers. I strongly support the amendment.
