<p>We will continue to issue Notices of Intent in line with the Immigration Rules
and our published policy. It is right that we consider inadmissibility action and
explore all reasonable removal options where there is evidence that someone applying
for asylum in the UK was in a safe third country and already has been: granted asylum;
had a claim for asylum rejected as unfounded; or had reasonable opportunity to claim
asylum there but failed to do so.</p><p>The published policy is clear that this consideration
is not open-ended: in broad terms, a case must be admitted for substantive consideration
in the UK asylum system if it is concluded that there are no reasonable prospects
of an EU state, including France, or any other safe country, agreeing to the person’s
return, or if no such agreement has been secured within a maximum of 6 months. (This
6-month timescale does not apply to the period after a country agrees to an individual’s
return, during which time practical arrangements for the removal will be confirmed
and, if necessary, enforcement action taken.)</p><p>This system will not introduce
significant delays either for individuals entering the asylum system, or the asylum
system as a whole.</p>
