The
impact of the Asylum Bill By Frances Webber
A leading immigration barrister spoke at a recent meeting of the Law
Centres' Federation on the likely impact of the Asylum and Immigration
(Treatment of Claimants, etc) Bill.
"The steady stream of Asylum Acts continues: 1993, 1996, 1999,
2002 and soon, 2004. The Asylum Bill, likely to become law within
weeks, is set to drive asylum seekers further to the margins of society.
