Asylum

Asked by Gavin RobinsonDemocratic Unionist PartyHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 July 2025UIN 61836

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department plans to take to improve the asylum system.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

I refer the Hon Member to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill introduced to Parliament on 30 January (Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill 2025 - GOV.UK.) and the Immigration White Paper published on 12 May (Restoring control over the immigration system: white paper - GOV.UK), both of which will drive forward the Government’s objectives to restore order to the asylum system, and cut costs it imposes on the taxpayer.
