The last Parliament has been one of contrasts when it comes to Britain’s refugee policy - from the success and broad public embrace of the Homes for Ukraine scheme to the start-stop nature of the Rwanda plan. This panel will explore More in Common and UCL Policy Lab’s latest research into how what we’ve learned from the successes and failures of the last parliament when it comes to refugees, and where the Tories might go next in building a refugee policy that works for Britain and meets the public’s expectations of compassion and control.
