Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.
UK Borders Bill
My Lords, the Medical Foundation’s services are available to asylum seekers, and are very valuable. The foundation also provides medico-legal reports to support asylum seekers making asylum-seeking claims. It works on instruction from an applicant’s legal representative. Clearly, the sorts of things that the Medical Foundation provides to the BIA and so on help us to get a better feel for how the system is working and what its perfections and imperfections are. That provides us with very valuable intelligence to ensure that we are properly compliant.
