International Protection Bill 2015: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages
1:00 pm

I am disappointed the amendment has not been accepted, as we were looking to insert a provision whereby the person "applicable shall have access to independent legal advice and consultation" and "Such advice and consultation may include that from an appropriate non-governmental organisation." It is hard to see how this would bring a cost to the Exchequer, seeing as it specifies a non-governmental organisation that would be in a position to provide the service.
