Immigration Bill 2002: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage.

 

The provisions in the Bill are fair. They give an applicant ample opportunity to demonstrate, where there is an indication otherwise, that he or she does wish to pursue the application. If the applicant, who knows from the word 'go' of the consequences of non-co-operation, fails to avail of that ample opportunity, this is a clear and active demonstration that he or she does not wish the claim to proceed. That must inexorably be followed by a definitive conclusion in the form of a decision to withdraw the application since no other conclusion is sustainable.
