HC Deb 18 December 1996 vol 287 c752W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has for reviewing the system of asylum and immigration appeals. [10474]

Mr. Howard

My right hon. and noble Friend the Lord Chancellor and I intend to review the current system of asylum and immigration appeals, so as to establish, among other things, whether it provides adequate rights of appeal consistent with the costs to public funds and the impact upon the operation of the immigration control. We shall publish our conclusions in due course as a basis for consultation with interested parties.
