A Bill to require asylum seekers who have arrived in the United Kingdom from a safe country to be immediately returned to that country; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
29 April 2022
This bill would require asylum seekers who arrive in the UK from a country the government designates as 'safe' to be immediately returned to that country. It changes how these cases are handled to speed up removals and includes related measures to enable these actions. The overall aim is to make removals from safe countries quicker, with additional provisions to support those removals.
The bill is currently at the second reading stage in the House of Commons, having originated there. If it progresses, it would move on to further stages such as committee and report stages.
