House of Commons – July 13, 2026 – 54

I beg to move an amendment, to leave out from “That” to the end of the Question and add: “this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Immigration and Asylum Bill, while welcoming some of its provisions, because the Bill does not ensure all foreign criminals and illegal immigrants will be deported;

does not end asylum for illegal immigrants;

does not stop modern slavery claims suspending removal;

does not stop illegal immigrants getting citizenship;

does not make the changes the Government promised to reduce the numbers of people eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain;

because the Bill will allow sponsor human rights claims, which will enable people outside the UK to enter under human rights grounds;

because measures in the Bill such as narrowing the ability to make Article 8 and modern slavery claims will not be effective while the UK remains in the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998 remains in force;

and because the provisions in the Bill are not capable of eliminating illegal immigration.”
