    'Hammer blow' to immigration system

    "A landmark Supreme Court decision has dealt a "hammer blow" to the immigration system, it has been claimed.

    The case concerns revised rules for the admission to the UK of migrant workers under what is called the Points-Based System.

    The court decided the rules were flawed because a list of skilled occupations crucial to the current system were never laid before Parliament for scrutiny.

    Later Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, said: "This judgment delivers a hammer blow to the Points-Based System. The court is very clear that ministers must place rules before Parliament for proper scrutiny.


    "Their failure to do so over a number of years leaves the immigration system open to ridicule. Thousands of people will not know whether or not they are allowed to stay in the country."

    The Home Office said action would now be taken quickly to remedy the situation. A spokeswoman said: "We will act quickly to ensure the requirements of this judgment are met and that the necessary guidance is transferred into the Immigration Rules."
