The Bill passed its Third Reading in the Commons. Voting was 298 – 231.
December 2021
Proposals seek to outlaw claims from people who enter UK by “illegal” means, eg by boat or container lorry. This is totally against the spirit and letter of the Refugee Convention, which the government still claims to subscribe to. It is therefore vital that as many people as possible protest against these inhumane proposals.
