Immigration: Appeals

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 16 October 2024UIN 8672

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to ensure decisions of the First-tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber are published on the same basis as decisions of the Upper Tribunal.

Answered by Heidi Alexander

I refer the honourable Member to the answer I gave on 10 October 2024 to Question 7538: Written questions and answers - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.

Decisions on publishing judgments, including those judgments of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal, are a judicial function.

We have no plans to legislate to change the current arrangements.
