We urge the Government to leave the ECHR as we believe it will help protect British citizens. We think this could give the Government more flexibility to make policies to help reduce the level of illegal migration to the UK.

Government response

To achieve the Government’s goals to protect the UK’s border security and restore order to the asylum system, our priority should be to review the way the ECHR is interpreted, not withdraw from it.
