Immigration Bill

During November I sat on the Immigration Bill committee. The committee heard evidence from witnesses about the impact of the Bill.

In committee, I expressed concern that the bill is rushed through Parliament without time for thorough examination.

I put forward amendments to the bill. This bill will have a significant effect on people whose immigration status is not secure, as is the case for many Hackney residents who have reapplied for status but have yet to have an answer from the Home Office.

I also tabled amendments about domestic violence, human trafficking and the spread of infectious diseases. I will continue to press these issues.
