Immigration Bill 2002: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage.
For that section to come into the effect, the pre-conditions, as far as the amendment is concerned, are that there has to be a failure to co-operate or comply with the provisions of section 9, which are specified in the section. This amendment proposes to insert the words "to such an extent as to warrant the application of this subsection". That is to exclude minor or totally insignificant failures to co-operate but I do not know what they might be. It seems implicit in the subsection that only those, which could be reasonably and fairly relied upon, can constitute grounds for the sending of a letter under the subsection.
