‘On 13 July 2026, the Immigration and Asylum Bill is scheduled to receive its second reading in the House of Commons. Public attention has fixed on Part 2 and its Article 8 clauses. This post is about Part 1 (clauses 1-16 and Schedules 1-3), which has attracted less commentary but may prove the more consequential. It abolishes the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) as the forum for immigration and asylum appeals, replacing it with the Independent Immigration Appeals Authority (“IIAA”): hearings from late 2027, a period of parallel running, then full transfer of the jurisdiction.’
