Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026

Debate

Immigration and Asylum (Provision of Accommodation to Failed Asylum-Seekers) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

Both we and our colleagues in the Commons are rendered powerless, yet at stake is the risk of destitution for people in the most vulnerable of circumstances—all in the name of fairness.
