Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill — Allow earlier rights of appeal — rejected — 11 Jun 2002 at 22:25

The majority No voters rejected an amendment[1] to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill.

The Bill allows the government to reject appeals against an immigration decision where the person is simply trying to delay their deportation or has no legitimate reason to appeal[2]. The amendment in this vote aimed to remove this provision from the Bill. However, the amendment was defeated.

The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill became law in 2002. Its main aims were to:[3]

  • Allow asylum seekers to be detained at any time
  • Disallow appeals from within the UK from failed asylum seekers who are citizens of a specific country
  • Deny asylum seekers support unless they make their claim "as soon as reasonably practicable" after arrival into the UK
  • Create accommodation centres to house destitute asylum seekers
