Legislation and policy relevant to asylum seekers immigrants and refugees.
The legislation
The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (NIA Act) received Royal Assent on 7 November 2002. It is the fourth piece of legislation affecting the UK asylum system in a decade. Many of the measures contained in the NIA Act were initially introduced in the Government's White Paper Secure Borders, Safe Haven: Integration with Diversity, published in February 2002.
