Home Office publishes information relating to the Nationality and Borders Bill

The Nationality and Borders Bill is the cornerstone of the government’s New Plan for Immigration, delivering the most comprehensive reform in decades to fix the broken asylum system.

The bill – and the wider plan – has 3 key objectives:

1. To make the system fairer and more effective so that we can better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum

2. To deter illegal entry into the UK breaking the business model of criminal trafficking networks and saving lives

3. To remove from the UK those with no right to be here

The introduction of the bill was preceded by a consultation, which the government has carefully considered. The government will publish its response in due course.
