A Bill to make provision for asylum seekers to challenge the proportionality of a proposed eviction from accommodation before an independent court or tribunal; to establish asylum seeker accommodation eviction procedures for public authorities; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
4 May 2021
The bill would let asylum seekers challenge the proportionality of an eviction from state-provided accommodation in an independent court or tribunal. It also lays out the eviction procedures that public authorities must follow when housing asylum seekers, including how notices and timelines should work. In short, it aims to ensure due legal process before eviction and to clarify responsibilities for authorities.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, meaning it is at an early stage of debate. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage and then to the House of Lords for scrutiny.
