TalkTV | "WHERE Have They Come From?!" | Former Govt Adviser On Migrants' Asylum Accommodation Review @talktv | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
More than 62,000 migrants could be granted asylum in the UK as the Government attempts to clear the backlog of claims waiting to be dealt with.
The Refugee Council estimates the number of asylum applications waiting to be determined could stand at 118,063 in January now Labour has scrapped plans to send migrants to Rwanda and started processing claims again.
Analysis of official data, based on grant rates in the year to June, indicates as many as 62,801 more people could be recognised as refugees in the UK, according to the migrant charity.
It said the research suggests the total backlog at the start of next year could be 59,000 lower than at the time of the July election and if no action had been taken to change government policy.
Talk’s Ian Collins is joined by former government adviser Claire Pearsall to discuss.
