Target: Focus the asylum system on those genuinely fleeing persecution by taking speedy, high quality decisions and reducing significantly unfounded asylum claims, including by:
- fast turnaround of manifestly unfounded cases;
- ensuring by 2004 that 75% of substantive asylum applications are decided within 2 months; and that a proportion (to be determined) including final appeal, are decided within 6 months; and
- enforcing the immigration laws more effectively by removing a greater proportion of failed asylum-seekers.
