question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, in the light of the judgment in <i>Lord Chancellor v Detention Action</i> [2015] EWCA Civ 840, they will reconsider the sections of the Immigration Bill that provide for individuals having to appeal their cases after deportation.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL2817
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2015 answer text <p>The judgement in Lord Chancellor v Detention Action is not relevant to the changes in the Immigration Bill. That judgment relates to the appeals processes for asylum claims under the Fast Track procedure rules. The provision in the Immigration Bill which extends the power to certify to require appeals to be brought from overseas where that will not result in a breach of human rights applies only to human rights claims.</p><p>The Court of Appeal recently considered the operation of the certification provisions that were introduced in the Immigration Act 2014, for those liable to deportation and held that the provisions were lawfully applied. The changes in the Immigration Bill extends this power to all human rights claims and the Government thinks it right to build on this successful legislation.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 02/11/2015 15:36:11 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

tabling member printed	Lord Green of Deddington
uin	HL2532
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>European law requires that a person whose claim for asylum is refused by the Secretary of State should have the right to challenge that decision via an effective remedy. In the UK that remedy is provided by either an appeal right or judicial review depending on the circumstances. There is no specific requirement, either in European or international law, to provide asylum applicants with an onward right of appeal if the rejection of their asylum claim is upheld at a first hearing.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 19/10/2015 16:24:55 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
