OR British Government He announced today that he would suspend the submission of applications by recognized refugees seeking to bring members of their family to their family in order to give the authorities time to tighten the rules, in another attempt to reduce arrivals in Britain.

The government of Prime Minister Kir Starmer’s workers is undergoing increasing pressure to reduce the number of asylum seekers who arrive in Britain from France with small sailors. Hotels where immigrants are housed have been focused, for weeks, sometimes violent demonstrations.

Interior Minister Ivet Cooper told parliament that more and more refugees are applying for their relatives, which is putting pressure on the housing sector. Many have applied to reunite with their families within a month while in 2019 they waited for one or two years or more. Cooper said he would suspend the functioning of this system as long as the government is considering tightening the rules.

“The system must be controlled and governed by fair and properly applied rules, not chaos and exploitation led by criminal gangs of traffickers,” he said.

The government is accused of delaying tackling the problem that, according to Downing Street, has been bequeathed by previous Conservative governments. London is now trying to expedite the processing of asylum applications and to conclude reciprocal agreements for immigrants.

However, public discontent gives Brexit supporter Nigel Faraj, a stable lead in polls and the government is stepping up efforts to take action.

According to the current system, an asylum seeker to whom an indefinite -term residence permit has been granted may bring his partner if he may prove that he has been related for at least two years, as well as children under 18 years.

Just over 29,000 people have come to Britain irregularly with small boats so far this year, an increase of 38% compared to the corresponding period of 2024.
