UK immigration control: how it works

House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee questions HC 556 changes to the Immigration Rules

The House of Lords’ Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee has raised concerns about Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules HC 556, which brings in two distinct packages of amendments covering the Ukraine Scheme and Skilled Worker/Health and Care visas. The Committee says the Explanatory Memorandum gives poor justification, with a key parallel policy shift on Ukraine left unexplained, and other reasoning described as weak or unpersuasive.

It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
