Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

My Amendment 71 would amend existing provisions in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 to remove optionality in respect of countries that refuse to co-operate with the UK on removals. It would require, not merely permit, the Secretary of State to consider imposing visa penalties on those unco-operative countries, in particular where they refuse to verify the identity or status of individuals likely to be nationals or citizens of that country.
