Hungary: Asylum

(asked on 8th March 2017) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Hungary about the law under which any asylum seeker will be automatically detained.


This question was answered on 23rd March 2017

We have made no representations to the Hungarian government since their parliament adopted amendments to its asylum laws on 7 March. The UK respects Hungary's right to determine its own asylum system in line with international law. We continue to monitor the situation.
