Illegal Migration Bill

Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 April 2023. It occurred during Speaker's statement and Debate on bills on Illegal Migration Bill.

I am sorry to interrupt the shadow Minister’s flow, and I wholeheartedly support him, as we have time and again, with regard to the criticisms of the Government’s lack of processing of cases, including the lack of staffing resources. On new clause 10 and the proposal for an expedited asylum process, can my hon. Friend reassure me that there will be no lessening of the legal rights of asylum seekers, of access to legal representation and of the application of international human rights treaties and conventions?
