Immigration, (2021)
Right to respect for private and family life: immigration, (2021) Right to respect for private and family life: immigration Last date of review: 02 March 2021 Last update: General updating. Authored by Austen Morgan 33 Bedford Row Chambers Convention rights - from the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and given further effect by scheduling to the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) have applied incontrovertibly in domestic UK law since 2 October 2000. There was considerable discussion from 1997 about which rights would be litigated in future years, on the basis of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) at Strasbourg, in the three jurisdictions of the United Kingdom (UK): England and Wales; Scotland; and Northern Ireland. Some commentators anticipated that art.8 (the right to respect for private and family life) would be important, as the basis of a new domestic right to privacy. Few, if any, predicted that the family life aspect of art.8 would play a significant role in UK immigration law and practice; this regulates the entry (and possibly exit) of non-nationals, whether as visitors, students, workers, investors or residents. Overview of Topic 1. This article looks at legislative, executive and judicial attempts to limit such art.8 cases since 2000, a project led by successive Secretaries of State (SoS) for the Home Department, of whom there have been six Labour, one coalition Conservative and three Conservatives in the past 20 years. 2. It considers the following topics: the structure of art.8 in immigration cases; how the SoS might theoretically limit its effect in tribunals and courts; the failed attempt to do so through the Immigration Rules; the slightly more successful attempt to do so through statute; the mixed response of the senior judiciary; and future prospects. -

The Bank Restriction Act and the Regime Shift to Paper Money, 1797-1821

The Bank Restriction Act and the regime shift to paper money, 1797-1821* Patrick K. O’Brien Department of Economic History, London School of Economics Nuno Palma Department of History and Civilization, European University Institute Department of Economics, Econometrics, and Finance, University of Groningen Abstract The Bank Restriction Act of 1797 suspended the convertibility of the Bank of England's notes into gold. The current historical consensus is that the suspension was a result of the state's need to finance the war, France’s remonetization, a loss of confidence in the English country banks, and a run on the Bank of England’s reserves following a landing of French troops in Wales. We argue that while these factors help us understand the timing of the Restriction period, they cannot explain its success. We deploy new long-term data which leads us to a complementary explanation: the policy succeeded thanks to the reputation of the Bank of England, achieved through a century of prudential collaboration between the Bank and the Treasury.

Reading refugee coffee-table books ANNA SZO¨ RE´NYI The practice of collecting photographs of refugees in ‘coffee- consuming images. This article is concerned with the table books’ is a practice of framing and thus inflecting the implications of such texts and of the statements, such as meanings of those images.

1 UK BORDERS ACT 2007 1 the Act Received Royal Assent on 30 October 2007. the Following Are the Acts on the Subject of Immigrati
Briefing Paper 8.21 www.migrationwatchuk.org UK BORDERS ACT 2007 1 The Act received Royal Assent on 30 October 2007. The following are the Acts on the subject of immigration and asylum currently on the statute book: Immigration Act 1971 Immigration Act 1988 Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997 Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 UK Borders Act 2007 2 Each Act since 1971 has heavily amended earlier Acts and introduced substantial new provisions, with the result that legislation on these topics is diffuse and complex. There is a desperate need for a consolidation Act to tidy up the law, but there is no sign of that as yet. Anyone practising in the field must also take into account the Human Rights Act 1998, the Race Relations Act 1976 and the British Nationality Act 1981. 3 The title “UK Borders Act” marks a complete change from earlier nomenclature, but this is deceptive. The purpose described in its long title is “to make provision about immigration and asylum: and for connected purposes.” It contains an assortment of sections amending existing legislation and introducing new measures. Its main provisions are: (i) New powers of detention for immigration officers at ports. (ii) New powers enabling the Home Secretary to make regulations requiring persons subject to immigration control to apply for a document recording external physical characteristics - a “biometric immigration document”. (iii) New and drastic procedures for the deportation of foreign criminals, obviously prompted by revelations about the shortcomings of existing procedures which came to light during 2006. -

Written Evidence Submitted by UK Government (CPP0009)
Written evidence submitted by UK Government (CPP0009) 02 March 2021 Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Inquiry into Citizenship and Passport Processes in Northern Ireland Dear Chair, Thank you for the opportunity to provide evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee in relation to the Committee’s inquiry into Citizenship and Passport Processes in Northern Ireland. The work of the Committee, including the critical role it plays in Parliamentary scrutiny, is of the utmost importance to the Government. The Government is fully committed to the Belfast Agreement, the constitutional principles it upholds, and the rights it protects. This includes the birthright provision, which protects the rights of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British or both, as they may so choose, and the right to hold both British and Irish citizenship. To support the Committee’s inquiry, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has asked that I write to you, with the support of the Minister for Future Borders and Immigration, Kevin Foster MP, to provide detailed evidence in response to the inquiry’s terms of reference. UKG response to the terms of reference 1. The interaction between UK nationality law and the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and any engagement with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The introductory remarks to the Committee’s inquiry1 state that the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement: “guarantees the right of the people of Northern Ireland to identify as British, Irish or both
