Immigration and Asylum Bill — New Clause — 9 Nov 1999

Lords amendments considered.

Lords amendment: No. 135, after clause 84, to insert the following new clause-- Eligibility for social security benefits --

(". An asylum-seeker, and his dependants (if any), shall be eligible for any social security benefits to which they would have been entitled if neither Part VI of this Act or Schedule 1 to the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 had been in force, until such time as the Secretary of State has placed a report in the Library of the House of Commons giving details of the average process times in the determination of--

(a) initial asylum decisions; and

(b) appeals to adjudicators against initial asylum decisions,

and certifying that the average time from the lodging of the application for asylum to the determination of an adjudicator of the appeal against the initial asylum decisions is less than six months.")

I beg to move, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker:

With this it will be convenient to take amendment (a) in lieu of the Lords amendment.

It being twenty-two minutes past Eight o'clock, Mr. Deputy Speaker put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to the Order this day.

Question put, That this House disagrees with the Lords in the said amendment:--

The House divided: Ayes 331, Noes 60.
