This Bill would let asylum seekers challenge, before an independent court or tribunal, whether a proposed eviction from the accommodation they are housed in is proportionate. It would also set out the procedures that public authorities must follow when evicting asylum seekers from asylum accommodation, with related safeguards and powers. The aim is to provide greater protection against unfair or disproportionate eviction.
The bill is at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. It began with a 1st reading in 2019 and would need to pass additional stages (Committee, Report, and the Lords if it completes Commons stages) to become law.
