Illegal Migration Bill House of Lords Second Reading Briefing

Warwick, Bruce; Fussey, Elizabeth; Rowland, Andrew; of Paediatrics and Child Health, Royal College

Abstract

Ahead of Second Reading of the Illegal Migration Bill on 9 May, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has prepared this briefing which focuses on new clauses added to the Bill at Report Stage in the Commons on age assessment of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. While this is our focus, the College is concerned, particularly in the absence of an impact assessment, about the entirety of the Bill and what it means for children's rights which this briefing references further below. The College also supports a briefing prepared by the Refugee and Migrant Children's Consortium.
