Yweet cooper An announced plan to suspend all new applications under Refugee Family reunion route as part of a range of measures Clean the shelter backlog And climb down Number of people crossing the channel.
Changes mean refugees will be covered by the same family Migration A new, hard structure for family reunion while all terms and conditions are prepared as all.
The refugees will now have to apply through the standard family scheme, which applies to British citizens. For this, they need to display a minimum joint income of £ 29,000 per year, before their foreign companions can include them in the UK.
Giving a statement in Commons on Monday, first day after summer holiday Public anger is increasing on migration, home Secretary Said that a new independent body would be created to speed up the shelter appeal, as well as announced that the first return of those coming to UK on small boats will begin at the end of this month with France.
More comprehensive reforms for the family reunion will be outlined in an refuge statement later this year and was implemented by Vasant, saying, arguing that people smuggled gangs were using family reunioned rules to promote illegal crossings in the UK.
But the refugee charitable condemnation condemned the changes, warning that they would “push more desperate people in the arms of smugglers in an attempt to reunite with loved ones”.
In the year from June 2025, reunion visas of 20,817 refugee families were issued. In the last decade, 92 percent of these were released to women and children, who are families of refugees.
CARE4CALAS CEO Steve Smith said: “We cry forever that refugees seeking security should do this through official channels, but here we have a government that is restricting the final available safe passage for women and children.
“Closing the hope of family reunion will only be forced to make more women and children to look dangerous to look for the sanctuary, including crossing the channel and risking their lives.”
Meanwhile, Refugee Council CEO Envara Solomon said: “So far, the family reunion has been one of the only safe and legal routes available that allows refugees to run away from war and harass their partner and children.
“Away from stopping people traveling dangerous to cross the channel, these changes will only push people more desperates in the arms of smugglers in an attempt to reunite with loved ones.”
And the British Red Cross stated that suspending applications of the refugee family reunion would be “disastrous effect”, warning that it would “cut one of only safe and managed routes for different families and children”.
The organization said, “Most people using family reunion visas are children and women – often stuck in very dangerous situations”.
Underlining his argument to make changes, the Home Secretary argued that before the epidemic, the newly formed refugees waited one or two years after the grant of their protection to apply to bring their families to bring their families.
However, on an average applications are being applied after a month after refugee protection, he said, some refugees are applying, while they are still in the hotel residence – something that is pressurizing the homeless residence provided by local authorities.
The government dissatisfied the crisis of small boats and how the migrants kept in hotels were dissatisfied that they have created a wave of protests in the summer, and criticized Labor’s political opponents.
It comes after the Bell Hotel in EPING, Essex became the focal point of several demonstrations and counter-protects in recent weeks, when a refugeer was placed, accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl last month. He has denied the allegations.
The Home Secretary said that the government is re -organizing the sites, tightening testing for housing and working “at speed” to identify more suitable housing, as well as working on cleaning the backlog.
“I understand and agree with local councils and communities who want asylum hotels in their communities because we need to close all asylum hotels, and we need to do so for good, but it should be done in a controlled and systematic manner, not through a return to the previous government’s chaos, which led to the inauguration of hotels in the first place.”
Sir Kir Stmper said that he wanted to gain concerns about “fully” people’s stay, and insisted that he wanted to speed up efforts to vacate the asylum hotels before the next election.
The government has committed to vacate all hotels at present by the end of Parliament, which may be late by 2029, but on Monday, talking to the BBC 5live, the Prime Minister suggested that he wanted to “bring that”.
Ms. Cooper also said that the government has presented eight changes in eight on human rights to eight of the European Convention – Right to Family Life – The remaining illegal migrants in Britain have been used during court cases to justify illegal migrants.
It comes amidst growing calls from many high profile data including former Labor Home Secretaries Lord Blanchek and Jack Straw, the government completely rethinking its relations with the ECHR or completely abandoning the conference.
But the ministers insisted that the UK is committed to the ECHR, despite the plan to change how it is implemented.
While Ms. Cooper said that the manner of the government will change from the proposed reforms of the government in the way Article eight of Echr has been explained, he said: “We should be clear that international law is important.
“This is because other countries know that we are able to make these new agreements with France, which to return to small boats, to prevent warehousing of small boats by criminal gangs with Germany and to make new agreements with other European countries to prevent warehousing of small boats by criminal gangs.
“But we also need an interpretation of international law to maintain with the realities and challenges of today’s world.”
But Shadow Home Secretary Chris Filp said that the “Twicing” rules would not be sufficient to deal with illegal stay.
He said, “This is not just a border security crisis, it is a public safety crisis, and people above and below the country are fierce. That’s why they are protesting”, he told the Commons.
“If this government was serious about fixing this problem, they would know that there are not a little twix and enough here.”
