Reform UK has outlined a significant shift in immigration policy, stating that if elected to government, they would suspend the asylum system for the duration of the parliamentary term. Under this proposed framework, all new asylum applications would be automatically rejected, and any claims currently in the system would be voided. The party further stated that all individuals currently seeking asylum would be marked for deportation.

This proposal represents a departure from current UK asylum procedures, which involve individual assessment of claims based on international and domestic law. While the BBC report outlines the party's stated intent, it does not detail the legal mechanisms required to implement such a policy, nor does it provide a response from opposing political parties or human rights organizations regarding the feasibility or legality of the plan under existing international treaties, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention. The policy is presented as a central pillar of the party's platform regarding border control and immigration management.
