flag UK pauses plan to limit asylum claims by student visa holders after parliamentary debate.

flag A proposed Conservative plan to restrict asylum claims by student visa holders in the UK has been paused after a House of Lords debate. flag Baroness Lawlor sought to limit claims to two days after arrival, citing misuse of visas and strain on universities and public resources. flag Home Office minister Lord Hanson warned the rule could leave people in legal limbo and benefit exploiters, stressing reforms are possible without abandoning the Human Rights Act or international obligations. flag Lord Davies of Gower called for the Human Rights Act to be disregarded in immigration cases, citing controversial claims like one based on a child's dislike of chicken nuggets. flag Both proposed amendments were withdrawn but may be reintroduced later, highlighting ongoing tensions over immigration control, national security, and legal protections.
