Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) (Amendment) Order 2010.


Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) (Amendment) Order 2010

How can the Minister know that when the impact assessment states plainly that gender equality was not looked at and no results were annexed to it which enable one to judge the relative numbers of dependants and heads of households who were applying to come here and whether there was a gross disparity between the two? If the heads of households were predominantly men and the dependent relatives were very largely women, the huge fees charged for relatives would thereby be discriminatory.
