Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 April 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

The figures that the noble and learned Lord has just given are interesting. He said that 21% of administrative reviews uphold the appeal, whereas earlier he said that 51% of those reviews succeeded on appeal in 2012. Does that not illustrate the anxiety everyone feels that when an appeal system is replaced with an administrative review, the rate of success goes down not for any objective reason but just because the administrative review is less favourable to the applicant?
