Recommendation 14
14
Accepted in Part
Ambiguity in assessing and enforcing Clause 18 duties for GBR, SoS, and ORR.
Conclusion
It is not clear from the Bill how the Secretary of State, GBR and the ORR will be assessed on how they fulfil their clause 18 duties or how the duties will be enforced should they fall short. There is a danger that the Secretary of State’s interpretation of the duties may be overly dominant, which risks impairing the independence of ORR as a regulator. (Conclusion, Paragraph 43)
