Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

House of Commons, 1 March 2006.

David Lepper (Labour, Brighton, Pavilion)

The petition is from the Brighton and Hove Chinese Society and has 92 signatures.

The petition

Declares that the Petitioners object to the new 'Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill' and the five year strategy for 'asylum and immigration, Controlling our borders: Making migration work for Britain'. The petitioners strongly believe that eliminating the applicant's right to appeal is against our human rights and is a very unfair act.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to amend three areas of the new Bill, which are:

1. The removal of in country appeal rights and removal of entry clearance appeal rights

2. Employer's duties in relation to their workers

3. The new points system affecting settlement rights

To lie upon the Table.
