Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

On the question of the gateway refugees, those which are recognised by the UNHCR before they come to the UK will continue to be granted permanent residence when they first arrive in this country. On the second point, which I was unable to confirm a moment ago in the context of the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Falkner, information on how we will see the discretion of the Secretary of State being used will be published in guidance on the UKBA website.
