Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make it his policy to allow people who are affected by paragraph 322(5) of the Immigration Rules to work during the course of any appeals and judicial reviews.

The Government’s position on this point was set out in my letter to the Chair of the Home Affairs Committee, the Rt Hon Member for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, dated 21 June 2018, that I copied to the Hon. Lady and deposited in the House Library. It can be found at: https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-committees/home-affairs/Correspondence-17-19/180621-Immigration-Minister-paragraph-322(5).pdf
