UK Borders Bill

moved Amendment No. 34A: 34A: Clause 19, page 11, leave out lines 28 to 30 The noble Lord said: Amendments Nos. 34A and 36A implement the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee’s recommendation that the power to specify, "““the circumstances in which evidence is to be treated … as submitted in support of, and at the time of making””" the application be vested in the Lord Chancellor rather than the Home Secretary. On reflection, we agree with the committee’s recommendation. Our amendments will therefore allow the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal’s procedure rules, laid down by the Lord Chancellor, to make the necessary specification, rather than have them appear in the Immigration Rules which are made by the Home Secretary. I beg to move.
