8Nationality and Borders Bill: Reasons Committee
Tom Pursglove reported that the Committee had agreed the following Reasons:
Lords Amendment 5
Because the Commons consider that the provisions of Part 2 are compliant with the Refugee Convention, and that it is therefore not necessary to provide expressly that this is so.
Lords Amendment 6
Because the Commons consider that it should be possible to accord different treatment to refugees depending on whether they have complied with the criteria set out in clause 11.
Lords Amendment 7
Because the Commons consider that asylum-seekers (save in limited circumstances) and their adult dependants should not be permitted to work while a decision on their claim for asylum is pending.
Lords Amendment 8
Because the Commons do not consider it appropriate that the commencement of clause 15 should be dependent on the conclusion of international agreements with other States.
Lords Amendment 9
Because the Commons consider that it is appropriate to allow the removal of an asylum seeker to a safe third country while their claim for asylum is pending.
Lords Amendment 10
Because it would alter the financial arrangements made by the Commons, and the Commons do not offer any further reason, trusting that this Reason may be deemed sufficient.
Lords Amendment 11
Because the Commons do not consider it appropriate for there to be a statutory requirement on the minimum number of refugees to be resettled in the UK each year.
Lords Amendment 12
Because it would alter the financial arrangements made by the Commons, and the Commons do not offer any further reason, trusting that this Reason may be deemed sufficient.
Lords Amendment 13
Because the Commons consider that it should be a criminal offence for a person who requires entry clearance to knowingly arrive in the United Kingdom without such clearance.
Lords Amendments 14 to 19
Because they are consequential on Lords Amendment 13 to which the Commons disagree.
Lords Amendment 20
Because the Commons consider that the offence of facilitating the entry of an asylum seeker into the United Kingdom should be capable of prosecution whether or not the defendant was acting for gain.
Lords Amendment 22
Because the Commons consider that the additional requirements for age assessments, as set out in the new clause, are either inappropriate or unnecessary.
Lords Amendment 23
Because it is consequential on Lords Amendment 24 to which the Commons disagree.
Lords Amendment 24
Because the Commons consider that it is appropriate for the fact that a person claiming to be a victim of slavery or human trafficking has provided information late, without good reason, to be taken into account by the competent authority.
Lords Amendment 25
Because the Commons consider that the clause proposed by the Lords Amendment provides an unworkable regime for operating the public order and improper claim exemptions to Article 13 of the Trafficking Convention.
Lords Amendment 26
Because it would alter the financial arrangements made by the Commons, and the Commons do not offer any further reason, trusting that this Reason may be deemed sufficient.
Lords Amendment 27
Because the Commons consider that the clause inserted by the Lords Amendment makes provision in relation to persons under the age of 18 that is not necessary, or not practically workable, or not appropriate.
Lords Amendment 40
Because the Commons consider that the immigration rules should be able to include provision requiring persons travelling from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland to have an electronic travel authorisation.
Lords Amendments 52 and 53
Because they are consequential on Lords Amendment 9 to which the Commons disagree.
Lords Amendment 54
Because the Amendment is unnecessary given that the maritime enforcement powers will in any event have to be exercised in compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights (by virtue of section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998) and with the UK’s international obligations.
The Reasons were agreed to.
A public petition from residents of the constituency of North Ayrshire and Arran relating to VAT and fuel duty on petrol and diesel was presented and read by Patricia Gibson.
Subject: Prioritisation of NHS capital spend and health inequalities (Lucy Allan)
