Transfer of Functions of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal Order 2009

My Lords, again I thank the noble Lord, Lord Tunnicliffe, for such a detailed explanation of these orders. I do not know whether he was using the same speech as was used in another place when these orders were taken—I am not even sure whether they have been taken in another place—but I noticed that he referred to us as "honourable Members" rather than "noble Lords". So it possibly was lifted from another place. We have dealt with a number of these transfer of tribunal function orders over the past few months, some of which were controversial—the noble Lord will remember when we were dealing with war pensions—and some of which were negative orders, as the noble Lord pointed out. Are these the last of the transfer of function orders to be brought forward under powers created by the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007? In dealing with that point, given the difficulties of dealing with secondary legislation, would it not have been possible for these to have been brought together into one order on which we could have had one simple debate and got it over at once? That point is underlined by the Amendment to Schedule 6 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 Order 2009. Again, would it not have been possible to get all these matters right at once, rather than bringing forward an amendment as early as this? I hope the Minister will give an assurance that we will be able to deal with these matters in a more felicitous manner in the future. A raft of orders going through in this manner is not the easiest of way of dealing with the issue and, to some extent, brings the process of secondary legislation into disrepute. Having said that, we welcome the range of tribunals—the gambling appeals tribunal, the claims management services tribunal, the information tribunal, the immigration services tribunal, and so on—that are moving over and we wish them well under the new system.
