Asylum Seekers
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will give priority to families with children, in particular those with children born in the United Kingdom, when extending legal advice to migrants and asylum applicants, especially those facing deportation.
- Answer
-
On 21 June we published the Government’s response to the consultation on Proposals for the Reform of legal aid in England and Wales. We have decided that asylum matters will be kept within the scope of the legal aid scheme and that all immigration matters will be removed from scope, except for where the person is detained.
