M. Michel Guiniot appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur le souhait formulé par la Commission européenne d'exclure les hommes en âge de combattre de la protection accordée au réfugiés ukrainiens dans l'Union européenne. La Commission européenne a, le 26 juin 2026, proposé d'exclure les hommes de 23 à 60 ans qui déposent une première demande d'asile. Cette exclusion serait à la demande des autorités ukrainiennes. Il souhaite savoir si des mesures équivalentes sont envisagées par la France pour des ressortissants d'autres États.

Cancel the Home Office Asylum Support and Accommodation Programme procurement (2029-2039). Shift focus from long-term housing to rapid enforcement. We want to protect taxpayers from multi-billion corporate contracts, ease pressure on local public services & enforce strict contractor accountability. The 2029–2039 Asylum procurement locks the UK into a massive long-term framework which we believe directly contradicts urgent immigration reform: first, it commits billions of taxpayer funds to unaccountable private corporate contractors under failed models; second, it avoids shifting policy completely from housing to rapid enforcement and deterrence; and third, these vast arrangements in our view place an unsustainable, unfair burden on local public services. We want the Government to scrap this exercise and focus entirely on enforcement.

It has been reported that since Brexit airlines have denied boarding by incorrectly alleging that passengers' travel documents are invalid for travel. When this happens, we call on the compensation to be increased to £2,000 to match the £2,000 penalty paid by airlines for the reverse scenario. Section 40 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 imposes a £2,000 penalty on airlines that bring an incorrectly-documented passenger to the UK, but Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 as amended by Regulation 8(6)(a) of the Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 requires airlines to compensate only £220, £350 or £520 for incorrectly denying boarding to a correctly-documented passenger. This imbalance should be eliminated in order to incentivise airlines to train their ground staff.

We call on the Prime Minister to close Derby’s asylum hotels, prevent asylum seekers being moved into Derby HMOs or private rented homes, and remove those with no lawful right to remain, including serious offenders, after due process. Derby residents have not been properly consulted on the use of local hotels for asylum accommodation. Recent reports of serious alleged offences have increased public concern. Closing hotels must not mean moving people into HMOs or private rented homes across Derby. The Government should end hotel use, prevent local dispersal, remove those with no lawful right to remain, and deport serious offenders after due legal process.

We ask the Government to require asylum claims to be assessed against the same standards of verified identity, evidence and background checks as other legal immigration routes, ensuring fixed decision timeframes, enforced removal after failed appeals, and a review of accommodation costs and impact. We are concerned that asylum seekers can currently remain in the UK for years with less identity verification than someone applying for a work or family visa. We are calling for asylum claims to be checked against the same range and standard of proof, documentation and background checks as every other immigration route. We want requirements for fixed timeframes for decisions, verified identity and origin, enforced removal once appeals are exhausted, and an independent review of the cost and community impact of hotel accommodation.

Schriftliche Anfrage der Abgeordneten Mag. Harald Schuh, Kolleginnen und Kollegen an den Bundesminister für Inneres betreffend Sozialleistungsbetrug durch einzelnen jordanischen Asylwerber mit 346.648,30 Euro Schaden
France · National Assembly · 4 August 2026
Mme Élise Leboucher souhaite appeler l'attention de M. le ministre du travail et des solidarités concernant une situation locale qui lui a été remontée par un homme reconnu au statut de lanceur d'alerte et qui pointe l'existence avérée de fraudes et de détournement du statut de bénévole par une association financée par des fonds publics. Ce dernier déplore que, malgré ses signalements répétés, les services de la direction départementale de l'emploi, du travail et des solidarités de la Sarthe (DDETS 72) ne diligentent pas d'enquête et de contrôles inopinés auprès de cette structure. Ce lanceur d'alerte précise avoir transmis différents signalements étayés démontrant que ladite association utilise des ressortissants de nationalité étrangère, exilés ou demandeurs d'asile, pour produire gratuitement des rapports d'expertise de haute qualité. Ce travail serait exigé sous un lien de subordination permanent, sans déclaration préalable à l'embauche (DPAE), sans rémunération, en exploitant la dépendance migratoire de ces personnes, par le biais d'un chantage au soutien administratif pour l'obtention de visas ou de titres de séjour. Cette pratique ne se limite pas à la dissimulation d'emploi salarié réprimée par l'article L. 8221-5 du code du travail, puisque l'utilisation de la contrainte et de la vulnérabilité migratoire pourrait être de nature à caractériser le délit pénal de traite des êtres humains à des fins d'exploitation par le travail tel que défini par l'article 225-4-1 du code pénal. Malgré des plaintes circonstanciées et un acte formel du conseil départemental de la Sarthe datant du mois de juin 2026 reconnaissant sans équivoque l'existence d'une fraude sociale en réseau impliquant la structure concernée, ce lanceur d'alerte déplore le fait que les services de la DDETS et l'inspection du travail ne diligentent aucun contrôle inopiné pour faire cesser l'exploitation de ces femmes et hommes exilés. Aussi, elle lui demande quelles instructions urgentes ses services pourraient avoir compétence de transmettre à la direction générale du travail (DGT) pour s'assurer de l'absence de défaillance dans cette situation ainsi présentée et de s'assurer que les services de la DDETS 72 puissent intervenir sans délai lorsque de telles alertes documentées de faits présumés de traite d'êtres humains et de travail dissimulé mis en œuvre sous couvert d'activités humanitaires se trouvent émises.

The cost of food is rising daily and many families are struggling. We believe this can be addressed by giving all children up to the age of 16 free school meals. Families will save at least £199 a year per child per year & this would help with the cost of living crisis. Help support all families! After receiving a letter from the Government saying that my children no longer qualify for free school meals I’ve decided it’s time to make a change. Having free school meals would give families peace of mind that children are having a hot healthy meal. The Government’s policy change comes into force in September 2026 and means children will only get free school meals if their parents are in receipt of universal credit, guaranteed element of pension credit or under support of Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Please make a change for all children.

The Government pledged to close down asylum hotels in its manifesto for the 2024 General Election. It has transpired that these hotels may stay open until 2029. We want these hotels shut down immediately, and to immediately deport any migrants or asylum seekers who are being housed there and came to the UK illegally.
