UK asylum claims 'taking substantially longer'

Dr Peter Walsh, a researcher at the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford and author of the briefing, said:"There is no single explanation for the falling share of decisions taken in six months.

Now it's becoming clear why: The target was consistently being missed and had become virtually meaningless. However, the concern is that as delays get worse, the uncertainty and stress levels increase among some of the UK's most marginalised and traumatised groups of people.If someone wishes to stay in the UK as a refugee, they must be unable to go back to their country because of a fear of persecution,They should apply for asylum when they arrive in the UK or as soon as they realise it would be unsafe to return to their home country.

Most people seeking asylum in 2018 were from Iran, Iraq, Eritrea, Pakistan and Albania, with most living in the north east of the UK. And 20 local authorities, mainly in Scotland and the north of England, host as many claimants as the remaining 362 council areas combined, he said.

what a cheek to say that

Get them out now! BuildTheWall 🇬🇧

Conservatives BorisJohnson should pull the emergency brake on Asylum seekers/ Refugees. UK has taken has taken more than enough, we have a housing infrastructure crisis, British citizen should come first. patel4witham

Good

Good surely? Why should the target be to rush through applications? A bit more care and diligence before a decision should be welcome.

Increases in the volume of claimants tends to do that.

No wonder it takes so long , we can't cope with the thousands arriving and we don't have enough homes for them . Unprecedented and totally unfair on blaming the authorities trying to sort this crisis out .

Probably because they burned their passports

I think you'll find that asylum seekers can't vote.

Harder to find them a house under this Tory government I guess. Labour will priorities dinghy bound migrants over ex-soldiers and the indigenous homeless, as they are more likely to thank them through a vote for the party.
