Kathmandu. The UK is preparing to make major changes to its refugee policy.
Many citizens of Asian and African countries have benefited greatly from the UK’s asylum laws. This has led to a significant change in the demographics of the UK. Which is facing widespread opposition. Under pressure from indigenous peoples, the ruling Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is planning major changes to its refugee policy.

The UK government has said it will make the most significant change to its refugee policy in modern times. It is believed that the UK’s refugee laws will be similar to those of Denmark, which is considered the strictest in Europe. Human rights groups, however, are widely critical of Denmark’s refugee law.
The Labour government is tightening its immigration policies. In particular, there will be changes in the movement of small boats coming from France illegally. The main reason for this is to protest the growing popularity of the Reform UK Party. He advocates for tightening immigration policies.
What will be special about the UK’s refugee law?
The Home Office said in a statement: “Under these changes, the statutory obligation to provide support to some refugees, including accommodation and a weekly allowance, will be scrapped.” ’
The department, led by Shabana Mahmood, said: “These changes will prioritise taxpayer-funded support for those who contribute to the economy and local communities. ’
What did the UK Home Office say?
Shabana Mahmood may soon share more details about these changes. However, the UK Home Office says the measures are designed to make the country less attractive to illegal immigrants and make it easier for them to be deported. “This country has a proud tradition of welcoming those fleeing danger, but our generosity is pulling in illegal immigrants across the Channel,” Mahmood said. ’
British voters concerned about illegal immigration
More than 100 British charities have written to Mahmood urging him to end policies that scapegoat migrants and harm him. Such policies are fueling racism and violence. Polls show that immigration is a major concern for voters, outpacing the economy. ’
As of March 2025, 109,343 asylum seekers had claimed asylum in the UK. This is 17 percent more than the previous year.
