Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

The Government have taken away the right of appeal in a number of immigration cases, and the Minister of State, Ministry of Justice, the right hon. Member for Bermondsey and Old Southwark (Simon Hughes), who is sitting by the Justice Secretary’s side, was very vocal in the campaign against the abolition of the right of appeal in immigration cases. There has been a huge increase in the number of judicial reviews in immigration cases. Is it fair that we should cut off every single judicial route, enabling people to have nowhere to go if they want to challenge decisions?
