Green: Each individual case to be treated sensitively
The UK Border Agency will take every care to ensure that former Refugee and Migrant Justice clients are not unreasonably affected, Immigration Minister Damian Green has said.
Refugee and Migrant Justice entered administration in June due to financial difficulties.
In a written response to Ms. Catherine McKinnell, MP for Newcastle upon Tyne North, Mr. Green said the UK Border Agency “will treat individual cases sensitively.”
Ms. McKinnell wanted to know if the Home Office will postpone decisions on applications for asylum in all cases where the applicants were receiving legal aid and assistance from Refugee and Migrant Justice until arrangements have been made for alternative legal aid and assistance to be provided to them.
Mr. Green said that they are “unable to give a blanket assurance that no adverse immigration decisions will be taken on their former clients until a new legal representative has been appointed.”
