Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

Before the Minister sits down, can we expand this debate and make sure that we clearly understand the amount of voluntary work that will have to be done? It is all right to say that the referee will sign it off, but it is not in the applicants’ interests not to know whether there is a minimum or maximum amount that they have to do. One person might get away with a week, whereas someone else might still be flogging it out two and a half years later, and they would both be equitable in terms of the reduction of two years. It is a bit flimsy to leave it so that they do not have to do a specific amount of volunteer work.
