Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

In the immigration White Paper, which has been published already, the Government have set out a clear approach. The White Paper describes reforms to ensure that the UK can restore order and instil control and fairness to the system while bringing down net migration. As Members know, the current family rules are being reviewed. Given the immediate pressures that result from family reunion, we had to introduce a temporary suspension to the refugee family reunion route on 4 September. We intend, having looked at the issues over the next few weeks and months, to bring forward reforms in the period of spring 2026.
