Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

I am glad that this Bill repeals the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024 and much of the Illegal Migration Act 2023, but we need to reverse all the dehumanising policies implemented by the last Government, not just the ones covered by this Bill. We need to expand safe and legal routes to the UK, including resettlement, family reunion and piloting a refugee visa to travel, as proposed in a report by the Public and Commercial Services Union and Care4Calais, the launch of which I was privileged to host here in Parliament.
