Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

The Bill will enable that reporting mechanism. In particular, because we are extending the period that the Home Office has in which to investigate, we should see more cases being investigated. The large number of sham marriages is a problem. Sadly—I am an active member of the Church of England—there have been court cases involving Church of England clergymen actively conducting sham marriages and being brought to justice as a result. It is important, however, that we have the mechanisms in place to deal with that.
