Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

I do not have time to deal with the hon. Gentleman’s points.

There were many issues around appeal. Administrative review is a better way to deal with caseworking errors than forcing someone through the appeals system. I also listened very carefully to the genuine concerns raised about landlords. There will be a chance in Committee

to deal with the practical implications of that. We have thought through the issues that colleagues have raised and we will be able to deal adequately with them in Committee and take colleagues with us. If there are things that we have not thought about, we can deal with those. I think that my hon. Friend the Member for Henley (John Howell) dealt with that issue very well.

I am looking forward to debating the issues in Committee. The Bill continues our reforms of the immigration system, and it will ensure that the public’s expectations of a fair system are delivered. I commend the Bill to the House.

Question put, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
