Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

I apologise. I meant that it proposes a review of the time limit rather than a time limit itself, and that therefore, given the nature of the review, it would be open to it to look at other options. There are shared concerns across the House about immigration detention and its indefinite nature. There will be disagreements as to the precise time limit, if there is to be one, and that can be discussed, but at this stage sitting back and simply accepting the status quo is not an acceptable way of proceeding. However, I will obviously listen to what the Minister has to say on this.
