HC Deb 08 January 2001 vol 360 cc412-3W
21. Mr. Leigh

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the operation of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. [142664]

Mrs. Roche

Implementation of the 1999 Act is being phased. I am satisfied that those elements already in force, including the new asylum support arrangements, the civil penalty for carrying clandestine entrants, and the one-stop appeals system are working effectively.

26. Mr. Gerrard

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will announce the outcome of his review of the voucher system for asylum seekers. [142669]

Mrs. Roche

We have said we are planning to complete the review early this year and that is still our intention.
