On Thursday the 23rd of March the APPG on Migration, in collaboration with UNHCR, held a private briefing for MPs and Peers on the UNHCR’s formal legal observations on the Illegal Migration Bill. Chaired by APPG on Migration member Baroness Lister of Burtersett, the briefing was delivered by UNHCR Permanent Representative to the UK, Vicky Tennant, with assistance from UNHCR’s Senior Legal Associate Elizabeth Ruddick.
The briefing was well attended by MPs and Peers who had a chance to ask UNHCR representatives questions ahead of the the further passage of the Bill.
