UK to scrap automatic rights for asylum seekers in refugee system overhaul
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to scrap automatic settlement for refugees in the UK.
At present, refugees are granted permanent settlement after five years and can bring family members immediately after asylum is granted.
Starmer said the current system is “not fit for purpose” because it grants asylum seekers arriving in small boats more rights than British citizens or migrants who enter the country legally.
