Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to propose a review of the provisions of the 1951 Refugee Convention.

This Government has no current plans to propose a review of the provisions of the 1951 Refugee Convention. The international frameworks governing refugee response have been discussed periodically in the United Nations - most recently between 2015 and 2018. Member States decided against reopening the legal regime at that time, focusing instead on improving implementation of existing frameworks.
