On the 17th local time, the British government released a document outlining comprehensive reform of the asylum system, including stricter control measures in various aspects such as asylum applications, refugee recognition, family deportation, and economic support. The reform was proposed by Home Secretary Mahamood and seen as an important step in tightening immigration and asylum policies in the UK. The government stated that the aim of the reform is to "reduce the attractiveness of the UK to illegal immigrants" and "ensure that those with no right to stay in the UK can be quickly deported". Further feedback on the measures will be sought and implemented gradually.
