Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I accept that. In Committee, the Minister accepted that this was a serious issue and that he needed to explore what could be done. He could make a statement that he will use the powers available to him under clause 1 to ensure that unaccompanied minors, as well as people who are granted humanitarian protection, will keep the right of appeal. I hope that at the very least that is what we achieve. Support for unaccompanied minors could also be a problem under Government new clause 1, as it is not clear that such children are still entitled to support from the local authority if they are leaving care, as is supposed to be the case for all children leaving care. Clause 4 leaves a great deal of regulatory discretion to the Minister. He has received representations from many hon. Members, so he will know of concerns about the removal of appeal rights under that provision. Many Members are very worried about the possible removal of oral appeals for family visitors. It would be extremely helpful if he could further clarify his approach this afternoon. The Government restored appeal rights to family visitors and we do not want to reverse that positive change.
