“Answer The QUESTION!” Julia Hartley-Brewer Clashes With CoE Priest Over Asylum System Shake-Up

The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show

Faith leaders including the Archbishop of Canterbury have backed proposals for a major shake-up of Britain’s “broken” asylum system, on the same day the Government’s Rwanda Bill returns to the Lords for a parliamentary showdown.

Migrants would be eligible to work in the UK after six months of waiting for an asylum decision and given free English language education on day one after arrival in the country under the recommendations.

The proposals are made in a report by the independent Commission on the Integration of Refugees, which also calls for the reinstatement of a refugees minister in Government.

The Most Rev Justin Welby, who in Parliament’s upper chamber has been a leading critic of Government legislation aimed at deporting some asylum seekers to Rwanda, is among religious figures supporting the recommendations.

TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with George Pitcher, a Church of England priest and former adviser to a former Archbishop of Canterbury, over the plans.
