Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Does the Minister have any figures relating to what happens at the moment? As I understood the speech that the noble Lord made in moving the amendment, these people have a right of appeal at present. If they arrive at the port of entry and the immigration officer asserts that the purpose for which they are seeking leave to enter is different from that which was stated in the interview with the entry clearance officer, that person has a right of appeal at present. It would be useful to know how many appeals there have been under this heading of individuals who, on arriving at Heathrow or wherever, give the immigration officer an allegedly different story from the one contained in the entry certificate. How many of those cases have been successful on appeal? I find it difficult to imagine how the situation would arise. After all, the person who is coming for the visit has gone to the trouble of putting down his purpose in writing, of going to the entry clearance officer for interview and of providing the required documentation. How on earth can it happen that, when he arrives at Heathrow, having applied for entry as a student, he suddenly alters his story and says that he is coming in as a visitor? I should have thought that the number of such cases would be minute and that it is hardly necessary for the Government to make this prescription to cope with the nuisance value and the small number of appeals that must be heard.
