Original Note:
Incredibly misleading headline. Were Labour to repeal the Act, allowing those who arrived by unregulated routes to apply for asylum - in accordance with international law & treaties - they would, by definition, not be "illegal arrivals". https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/laws/acts/#:~:text=Future%20changes%20to%20the%20law,of%20out%20of%20date%20legislation. https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/information/refugee-asylum-facts/the-truth-about-asylum/#:~:text=The%201951%20Refugee%20Convention%20guarantees,has%20ever%20withdrawn%20from%20it.
