Review the legislation relating to asylum and refugees entering the UK
We would like the government to undertake a comprehensive review of the of the Asylum Act 1991, the 1951 UN Convention on refugees and any other legislation to ensure the legal frameworks for refugees and asylum seeks arriving in the UK are still for for purpose.
We think the UK has a proud history of providing refuge to those in need. However, we think it is imperative to recognise that the world has changed significantly since these legal frameworks were established. We think that updating these laws could ensure the nation continues to uphold its humanitarian values whilst maintaining public confidence in our immigration system.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
