Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

We now come to the substance of this set of amendments, replacing the existing provisions dealing with "no-shows" at interview with new subsections (9), (10) and (11). The new subsection (9) spells out that an applicant may withdraw the asylum claim. While applicants have been voluntarily withdrawing their applications all along, it is no harm to have the fact of withdrawal and the process for achieving it set out in statutory form.
