Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from James Brokenshire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

I will make two points in answer to my hon. Friend. First, the decision of the Secretary of State would be reviewable by the courts. It would, therefore, be open to the individual to challenge the decision and the reasonableness of the Home Secretary’s determination. Secondly, I point him to amendment (b), under which there will be an independent review of the

power, which will report after one year and then on a rolling three-yearly basis. That will provide clarity about how the power is being used and give the reassurance that he has sought to exact.
