Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
In the Government’s own words, the immigration legal aid system is in crisis and will get worse unless we grasp this nettle and carry out urgent reform. The Government’s recent actions are very welcome, particularly on funding, but they do not reflect the unique challenges of accessing immigration legal advice while in detention. Further action is needed before the system can be saved from collapse.
