Refugees (Family Reunion) Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Murray of Blidworth and Baroness Butler-Sloss

Committee stage
Friday 17th January 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Butler-Sloss (CB)]

I ask the noble Lord, who I think has also put forward Amendment 14, whether children who have been formally adopted are contained within the Immigration Rules?

[Lord Murray of Blidworth (Con)]

Appendix FM, as I understand it—although I would have to check—does allow for an application to be considered by the Home Office in respect of a formally adopted child. But I am sure the Minister can confirm, or otherwise, in relation to that.
