Book excerpt: This document sets out the Government's reply to the 2nd report of the Constitutional Affairs Committee (HCP 211-I, session 2003-04; ISBN 0215015657) on the effects of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, and the efficiency and fairness of the system of asylum and immigration appeals. The Government has now introduced the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc) Bill into Parliament, with amended proposals (following representations from a number of parties including the Committee) for a single-tier tribunal system to reduce delay, with cases heard by an immigration judge, and judicial review available where there has been an 'error of law' or if the case raises an important point of law.
