Clause 7 - Failed asylum seekers: withdrawal of support
Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill
9:10 am
Mr Edward Garnier (Harborough, Conservative)
I apologise for being a little late, Mr. Taylor. I also extend to you the heartiest Leicestershire welcome.
Would not one concern that the hon. Member for Winchester no doubt has about the period in clause 7(1) be mitigated to some extent by adjustments to clause 10? Even if people arrive at a position in which they are certificated as failed asylum seekers, so long as they have been through a proper judicial process and they feel that they have been properly dealt with by a system that they understand and respect, the 14-day period will have a less damaging and hurtful effect than it might otherwise have.
