Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025
Debate
Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
We were often incredibly frustrated by conversations and decisions being made in Westminster that did not listen to what we needed to be heard, and did not create the conditions that would allow us to create those thriving places. Today, I ask us to do that. I am asking us to pause and think outside the Chamber, beyond easy assumptions, and about the wider network of people bringing different perspectives to our approach to asylum seekers’ opportunities to work in this country.
