Clause 21 - Transfer of leave stamps
Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill
4:00 pm
Ms Beverley Hughes (Minister of State (Citizenship and Immigration), Home Office; Stretford and Urmston, Labour)
I can assure my hon. Friend that clause 21 is not affected by clause 20. Fees for applications to transfer leave stamps will be set under Treasury rules and will cover only the full administrative costs. I can also assure him that this is a technical clause in the sense that it will ensure that leave stamps include any new forms of stamps, stickers and other attachments. We are working to new vignettes for residence permits and so on, and the definition of stamps will include some of the new technology that we are using. I hope that that reassures my hon. Friend.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 21 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 22 to 25 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
