Five year strategy for asylum and immigration
This strategy is the next stage of the Government's comprehensive reform of the immigration and asylum process, which has already succeeded in strengthening our border control, reducing the level of asylum applications by 67% from its peak, and doubling the number of removals from pre-1997 levels. It builds on these foundations and supplements the comprehensive review of our legal migration routes, which the Prime Minister announced last year. It develops an approach to immigration which is simple, straightforward and robust.
