Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

We should all listen to what the chief inspector said in his balanced conclusions and recognise the difficulties and that the Home Office makes mistakes, but also there are migrants who lie about their age to game the system. If everybody accepts both those points, I think, as the chief inspector says, we will have a better and more balanced debate to get to a strengthened asylum system that is fair not just to those claiming asylum but to the British people and their generosity.
