uin	HL1457
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Failed asylum seekers whose appeal rights have been exhausted are not allowed to work because they do not need our protection, have no right to remain in the United Kingdom and are required to leave. Our policy must maintain the distinction between those who need our protection and those seeking to work here. Allowing refused asylum seekers to work, even where removal is difficult, would send the wrong message and undermine the removal process by creating an incentive to frustrate removal.</p><p /> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 30/07/2014 15:50:36 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
