The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, which repeals both the controversial Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024 and Illegal Migration Act 2023, has been introduced in Parliament. 

The Bill covers measures to curb organised crime and deter small boat crossings and loss of life in the English Channel.

Law Society president Richard Atkinson said the Rwanda Act ‘was one of the most damaging pieces of legislation in recent history… We also welcome the repeal of most of the Illegal Migration Act—an Act which was incompatible with our international obligations and tarnished our international reputation’.
