Asylum in the UK. An ippr FactFile

Article

This paper is the second edition of our perenially popular asylum factfile.

One of the key objectives of ippr's Migration Programme is to engage the media and public in an informed and evidence-based debate about asylum and immigration to the UK. Migration is a complex and politically sensitive area but public understanding of the issues is not benefited by the limited objective information currently available. As part of this process we are consolidating the available evidence on asylum and immigration issues. This paper is the second edition of our perenially popular asylum factfile.
