Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).
A carrier will be expected to do no more than carry out basic checks of a passenger's documents. There is no question of a carrier looking behind the purpose of a passenger's journey. The legislation does not require a carrier to assess an intending passenger's need for protection nor should it. The amendments should be reconsidered as I am not in a position to support them.
