I will take this opportunity to alert Senators of my intention to bring forward a Report Stage amendment to paragraph (b) of the proposed new section 9 (11) – as inserted by paragraph (c)(iii) of this amendment. At present, the amendment provides that one of the forms of non-co-operation which could lead to an application being deemed withdrawn is where the person is found in breach of section 9(4) of the Act of 1996. Paragraph (b) of subsection (4) of that section prohibits an applicant from entering employment or carrying on a business, trade or profession during the period before the final determination of his or her application. Although this amounts to a serious breach of the terms on which asylum is being sought, it is not my intention that the withdrawal provisions of this amendment should apply in these circumstance as such breaches do not necessarily result in the person being missing or unco-operative.
