[Continuation from column 288]
Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill
5:00 pm
Mr Mark Oaten (Winchester, Liberal Democrat)
I am grateful to the Minister for reassuring me on that point. Is he saying that if there is a change of circumstances, the existing appeal and the decision going through the tribunal would be put on hold, the asylum seeker would have to put in a new application and the whole system would start again? Or is he saying that the system would allow another tribunal hearing to reconsider the new evidence. I am not clear how a new process is started and what happens to the existing process.
