Britain's government will announce on Tuesday plans for a new law barring those entering the country through unofficial routes from claiming asylum, in a bid to stop tens of thousands of migrants arriving on its shores in small boats
The Refugee Council charity said tens of thousands of genuine refugees who would previously have been granted asylum would be "locked up like criminals" under the plans, which would "shatter" Britain’s commitments under the UN refugee convention.
Controlling immigration was the third-most important issue for voters after the economy and the running of the health service, polling by YouGov in November found. The poll found 87% of the public thought the government was handling the issue badly. But the first planned deportation flight was blocked in June by a last-minute injunction granted by the European Court of Human Rights , and the strategy's lawfulness was subsequently challenged at London's High Court.
