Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, whether she has plans to (a) revoke, (b) replace or (c) retain the Refugee or Person in Need of International Protection (Qualification) Regulations.

The Refugee or Persons in Need of International Protection Regulations 2006 were revoked by Section 30 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022. Many of the key concepts of the Refugee Convention are now defined in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, ensuring Home Office decision-makers and the courts alike have the clarity they require to consistently apply them in the UK asylum system.
