Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 October 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
The noble Lord, Lord Kerr, mentioned 2 October and the Prime Minister’s statement. That is an adjacent but similar issue. The Prime Minister has said that migrants granted asylum in the UK will no longer automatically—I emphasise that word—be given settlement or family reunion rights. The asylum policy reform that was trailed by the Prime Minister in October will be fleshed out further by my right honourable friend the Home Secretary in due course. There will be further announcements because, as has been said by a number of Members, this remains a fluid situation.
