Asylum (First List of Safe Countries) (Amendment) Order 2006

My Lords, I am well aware that the points raised in the report on preparedness covered departments that are outwith the scope of the order, but they nevertheless form a background of concern to the House in respect of the preparedness of the whole governmental system, particularly in Bulgaria. Will the Minister write to me on those points and on the Government’s response to the report and on whether they are satisfied that the necessary requirements have been met.
