Either there is a misunderstanding or I am deficient in understanding. Article 8 of the Aliens (Appeal) Order said—and this is where the right hon. Gentleman is misleading the House—that they shall have a right of appeal but that it shall be a special right of appeal to the tribunal and shall be lifted out of the hands of the adjudicator. The Home Secretary is now saying that there shall be no right of appeal and that he as Home Secretary will decide. He is going a little far in praying us in aid to support the fact that he is destroying a right of appeal.
