The Government has been clear that it is in both the UK and the EU’s best interests to continue to cooperate on asylum and illegal migration issues when we leave the EU. We are ready to discuss the exact nature of this cooperation with our European partners.

As a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, we will continue to honour our international obligations when we leave the EU.
