Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

These cases are not exceptional. People in dire need of support, such as victims of human trafficking and modern slavery, and refugees—not people abusing the system—are every day of the week either not receiving legal aid support at all or receiving very poor-quality service for capacity reasons. The current government schemes are not working satisfactorily, and I argue that they need urgent change.
