<p>We are reviewing the report and its findings, but our position remains that individuals
who have been found not to need protection and have exhausted all legal avenues in
the UK are expected to take steps to leave the UK as soon as possible. If they do
not, we will seek to enforce their removal.</p><p> </p><p>The Immigration Act 2016
(‘the Act’) includes measures to remove incentives for migrants to remain in the UK
where they have no lawful basis for doing so.</p><p> </p><p>However, failed asylum
seekers, including failed asylum seeking families may be eligible for ongoing support
while there is a genuine obstacle to their departure. As now, what constitutes a genuine
obstacle is expected to include non-receipt of a travel document or a medical reason
why they cannot travel. We would to continue to expect failed asylum seekers to demonstrate
they are taking all reasonable steps to leave the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We want to support
those who genuinely need our protection, but also send out a very clear message to
those who seek to use the system to gain an unfair immigration advantage.</p>
