Asylum reform proposals

That this House expresses deep concern toward the Home Office’s recently announced proposals on asylum system reform; notes that these proposals fail to address the underlying causes and impacts of the current asylum crisis; regrets that the proposals do not provide clear mechanisms for the enforced removal of those whose claims have failed; highlights the alarming use of the Work and Study route as a means of providing citizenship to illegal immigrants; believes that this approach amounts to weak reform of an asylum system in urgent need of robust action; and calls on the Government to bring forward stronger, clearer and more effective measures to restore control, integrity and public confidence in Britain’s asylum processes.
