Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

My Lords, I listened with great interest to the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Dholakia—I declare an interest as a member of the immigration appeal tribunal—and to the speech of the noble Baroness, Lady Warwick. They both illustrated a system which is in existence now. Since the 2005 Act, the appeal system has existed. ““If it’s not broke, don’t fix it””, you might say, but the trouble is we don’t know whether it is broke or not because it has not yet had time to work. We cannot tell that. Perhaps we should keep our thoughts trained in that direction. I am not seeking to sustain my employment, as the noble Baroness will know, but there is no point in inventing a new system if the system is already there.
