Joint Briefing on Amendment 1B to the Government's Immigration Bill (compliance with international obligations)

This joint briefing responds to claims made in relation to the Lords' international law interpretation amendments during the passage of this Bill. 

Amnesty International, Liberty, Freedom from Torture, Hope for Justice and the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association support Lords' Amendment 1B and urge parliamentarians to support it.

In our view, concerns raised regarding the earlier Lords' Amendment 1 were not made out and, in any case, are no longer relevant following the Lords agreement to Amendment 1B in lieu.
