The purpose of this inquiry was to investigate the effects of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, and examine the efficiency and fairness of the system of asylum and immigration appeals. However, since it was set-up, proposals for the appeals system have been updated and the Government has introduced the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Bill. The Committee has thus evaluated these new developments. They are concerned that the current reforms have been drafted to deal with the issue of asylum rather than addressing the problems of immigration appeals, and they do not see how abolishing the second tier of appeals will prevent abuse. They are also concerned about measures to restrict the jurisdiction of courts. As for the 2002 Act, there has been too little time to monitor the impact.
