This legislation states that failure to take advantage of a reasonable opportunity to claim asylum in a safe country shall be taken in to account in assessing the individual’s credibility.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 25/01/2019 16:20:54 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
