Police and Crime Commissioners Home Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Home Affairs Committee has concluded its inquiry into Policing: Police and Crime Commissioners and published its Report. ReportThe Committee's Report on Policing: Police and Crime Commissioners (PDF) was published on 1 December 2010 as the Second Report of Session 2010-12, HC 511.

Witnesses: At approximately 11.30am At approximately 12.00pm Rt. Hon Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “The landscape of policing looks set to change considerably in the near future if plans to implement directly elected individuals go ahead.

7 Dec 2010
Impact of proposed restrictions on Tier 4 migration Home Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions
The Committee's report on Student Visas was published on 17 March 2011 as the Seventh report of Session 2010-12, HC 773. Additional written evidence has been published. Terms of ReferenceThe Committee issued the following terms of reference on 7 December 2010:
Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “Education is one of this country’s greatest exports. International students often maintain trade and knowledge links with the UK for years after they have returned to their country of origin. The Home Affairs Committee are concerned that any arbitrary decision to restrict the number of international students will be of grave danger to the UK economy and reputation” “By allowing interested parties to highlight how they might be affected by restrictions on Tier 4 visas, we hope to ensure that any restrictions proposed by the Government do not disadvantage a vibrant and successful industry.” “We respect the fact that the Government wishes to tighten up the immigration system but feel that, as we stated in our recent report on the immigration cap, efforts would be far better directed towards tackling bogus colleges and those who overstay their visas in order to seek employment, than penalising legitimate students.” |
26 Nov 2010
Lessons from the American experience of policing Home Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Committee held an evidence session on 30 November 2010 examining Lessons from the American experience of policing. Witness: Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “The landscape of policing looks set to change considerably in the near future if plans to implement directly elected individuals and to create a new National Crime Agency go ahead. The Committee looks forward to questioning Bill Bratton CBE, former Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department to see if we can learn any lessons from the American experience of policing.” |
7 Oct 2010

Oral evidence session Purpose of session This is one of the Committee’s topical evidence sessions. It is an opportunity to discuss the work of CEOP with its Chief Executive, Jim Gamble, and in particular to explore the concerns about the future of this agency that have led Mr Gamble to resign from his post. Rt. Hon Keith Vaz MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “We have long been aware of the magnificent specialised work done by CEOP in protecting children from sexual exploitation, making the internet a safer environment for children, combating child trafficking, and tracking down missing paedophiles. We are alarmed that Mr Gamble considers that the proposed merger of CEOP into the National Crime Agency would place this work in jeopardy, and we are therefore taking an early opportunity to explore with him the nature of his concerns.” |

I will be asking her about recent events in Whitehaven and Northumberland.” |
