Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill — Third Reading — 12 Jun 2002 at 21:56

The majority Aye voters agreed to give the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill its Third Reading[1]. This means it now moves to the House of Lords for their consideration.

The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill became law in 2002. Its main aims were to:[2]

  • Allow asylum seekers to be detained at any time
  • Disallow appeals from within the UK from failed asylum seekers who are citizens of a specific country
  • Deny asylum seekers support unless they make their claim "as soon as reasonably practicable" after arrival into the UK
  • Create accommodation centres to house destitute asylum seekers
