Coalition for Asylum Rights and Justice’s evidence submitted to the Immigration and Asylum Bill Committee

CARJ has submitted evidence to the public Bill committee examining the Immigration and Asylum Bill. The attached evidence focuses on Part 1 of the Bill and includes a range of proposed amendments.

The Immigration and Asylum Bill is now at committee stage in the House of Commons, this is a critical moment to build support for opposition to the legislation. The Bill could result in the removal of independent and expert appeal mechanisms and further weaken human rights protections in the UK, continuing the regressive trend of recent immigration legislation by undermining procedural fairness, and putting at risk the UK’s compliance with international law.
