Government Minister, Lord Hanson explains they want to reset debate & will introduce changes on migration policy 👀

Hanson explains Govt backs current rules right now but will reflect on concerns raised by Hamwee & others today

Must wait to see what this means in reality...

Thank you to Baroness Hamwee for her leadership on this refugee family reunion bill

This bill would allow more refugee families to be reunited in safety in the UK by expanding eligibility for family reunion - particularly for refugee children 🧡

I'm following the debate - 🧵

[House of Lords @UKHouseofLords]

Next, #HouseOfLords debates the Refugees (Family Reunion) Bill, looking at the criteria of who qualifies as a family member of a refugee and people granted humanitarian protection.

Shadow minister, Lord Sharpe of Epsom sets out the Conservative's opposition to the bill. Disappointing but expected

Sharpe suggests bill would help smugglers. Our real-world experience at Safe Passage contradicts this - we see family reunion *disrupting* smuggling routes
