Breaking News: UK Government Set to Scrap Permanent Settlements for Asylum Seekers
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to announce in Parliament on Monday that successful asylum seekers will only be allowed to stay in the UK temporarily. This policy shift comes as the Home Office reports a significant increase in removals and deportations of illegal migrants.
According to government insiders, Mahmood's decision marks a "significant shift" in the UK's asylum policy. Successful asylum seekers will be allowed to stay in the UK temporarily until their home country is deemed safe, at which point they will be returned. Their status will be regularly reviewed during this time.
The move is aimed at deterring people from crossing the English Channel illegally to seek a new life in the UK. The Home Office has announced that nearly 50,000 illegal migrants have been removed or deported from British soil since Labour came to power. This is a 23% increase compared to the previous 16-month period under the Conservatives.
The policy change is expected to have immediate impact on asylum seekers who have already been granted protection in the UK. Their status will be reviewed regularly, and they may be required to leave the country once their home country is deemed safe.
