New Clause 8 - Detention by Secretary of State
Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Bill
10:45 am
Mr Neil Gerrard (Walthamstow, Labour)
I thank my right hon. Friend for her reply. I have no doubt that she carefully reviews the cases that are brought before her every month, but I always prefer having something in statute to relying on the good offices of individual Ministers, who may move on.
I listened carefully to my right hon. Friend's comments, and I want to think carefully about them before Report, when we may want to return to the issue in some form. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
Motion and clause, by leave, withdrawn.
