Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

The Committee will know that immigration law is notoriously complex; I do not need to go into the details. Evidence consistently shows that being supported by a lawyer enables individuals with a valid claim, such as for asylum or as a victim of trafficking, to submit relevant evidence and prepare their case more effectively. This helps the parties narrow the dispute and government officials to make more accurate decisions earlier on.
