Priti Patel's planned overhaul of the asylum system 'fundamentally misunderstands' the issues
BORIS Johnson has been warned that his Government’s overhaul of the asylum system could “detach the UK from international refugee law”.
A total of 76 charities and community groups from across Scotland have signed an open letter to Boris Johnson highlighting their concerns – including that the changes may see politicians in London “directly intrude on the devolved competences of the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government”.
It comes after Home Secretary Priti Patel announced what she described as the “most significant overhaul of our asylum system in decades” last month.
