Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will list the safe and legal routes for asylum seekers for access to the UK to claim asylum.

The UK, like most other countries, does not accept asylum claims from abroad. Individuals should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach – that is the fastest route to safety.

The UK will continue to welcome refugees from across the world through existing safe and legal resettlement routes. These are the existing global UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Community Sponsorship, the Mandate Resettlement Scheme, and the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS).
