Ms Rosemary Hennigan:

While there would be an appeal, Article 20 allows member states to withdraw or reduce material reception conditions in a case where somebody would abandon or was seen as abandoning their residence so that is quite problematic. It also shows the degree of latitude there because it says member states may withdraw or reduce. It does not say member states shall do so, which means that somebody is making a decision about the circumstances in which we will reduce or withdraw and that is a big policy decision. To draw on Mr. Henderson's point earlier, that is a concern we have. We do not know what decisions will be made around that.
