HL Deb 13 June 2000 vol 613 c197WA 197WA

§ Lord Peston
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the annual report for 1999 of the Complaints Audit Committee of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate. [HL2832]

§ Lord Bassam of Brighton
A copy of the report has been placed in the Library. It is a useful and informative document and I am grateful to the Committee for its comments and its recommendations, which will all be followed up. The report also includes details of the broadening of the Committee's terms of reference to reflect its role in monitoring complaints arising from the enhanced powers of immigration officers under Part VII of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
