Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Joanna Cherry (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

My hon. Friend will be aware that Home Office statistics state that only 24% of appellants removed under the current “deport first, appeal later” provisions go through with their appeals. Does he agree that this suggests that extending those provisions will make it much harder—in fact, probably impossible—for the majority of these appeals to go ahead? Is it not inherently unfair to hold appeals with the appellants unable to make their own case in person?
