HC Deb 11 June 2003 vol 406 c47WS
The Minister for Citizenship and Immigration (Beverley Hughes)

In January 2001, we announced a review of the family visitor appeal system introduced under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. The review was undertaken by officials from UK visas, the Lord Chancellor's Department, the Home Office, HM Treasury and the Legal Services Commission. A discussion exercise was held towards the end of 2001 and research was commissioned from the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics Directorate to inform the review.

I am pleased to announce that the final report of the review team is published today, and has been placed in the Library of the House.
