Clause 1: Removal of persons unlawfully in the United Kingdom

Amendment 1

Moved by Lord Taylor of Holbeach

1: Clause 1, page 1, leave out lines 11 to 14 and insert-

“(2) Where a person (“P”) is liable to be or has been removed from the United Kingdom under subsection (1), a member of P’s family who meets the following three conditions may also be removed from the United Kingdom under the authority of the Secretary of State or an immigration officer, provided that the Secretary of State or immigration officer has given the family member written notice of the intention to remove him or her.

(2A) The first condition is that the family member is-

(a) P’s partner,

(b) P’s child, or a child living in the same household as P in circumstances where P has care of the child,

(c) in a case where P is a child, P’s parent, or

(d) an adult dependent relative of P.

(2B) The second condition is that-

(a) in a case where the family member has leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, that leave was granted on the basis of his or her family life with P;

(b) in a case where the family member does not have leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom, in the opinion of the Secretary of State or immigration officer the family member-

(i) would not, on making an application for such leave, be granted leave in his or her own right, but

(ii) would be granted leave on the basis of his or her family life with P, if P had leave to enter or remain.

(2C) The third condition is that the family member is neither a British citizen, nor is he or she entitled to enter or remain in the United Kingdom by virtue of an enforceable EU right or of any provision made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972.

(2D) A notice given to a family member under subsection (2) invalidates any leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom previously given to the family member.”
