Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026
Debate
Immigration and Asylum (Provision of Accommodation to Failed Asylum-Seekers) (Amendment) Regulations 2026Contribution
That brings me to the instruments before the House. As I said in my introductory comments, revoking the duty will allow the Government to revert to the power to provide asylum support contained in the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, which allows a more flexible approach to providing asylum support to ensure that the system is targeted to those who genuinely need it. The revocation is an enabler for developing a new, more flexible asylum support framework in line with the document we produced at the end of last year, or early this year, restoring order and control of policy direction in this field.
