‘Safe’ list to ease migrant crisis
The Government is reportedly reviewing plans to fast-track the removal of asylum seekers from designated ‘safe’ countries in an effort to tackle the Channel migrant crisis.
home Secretary Suella Braverman is looking at resurrecting a list of countries deemed by the home Office to be safe, according to The Times.
More than 42,600 migrants have arrived in the UK so far this year and Channel crossings continued yesterday.
Asylum claims of citizens from those countries would largely be regarded as unfounded, unless they are able to provide contrasting evidence.
There would be no right to appeal for rejected claimants.
