Boris Johnson backs Priti Patel on overseas asylum centres Plans to send asylum seekers abroad for processing will 'save life and avert human misery', Boris Johnson said yesterday. However, Gibraltar's chief minister, Fabian Picardo, flatly rejected the idea that asylum seekers could be sent to the Rock.

Migrants will be banned from claiming UK asylum if they arrive from a safe country such as France. If this fails, they should be returned to their home nation or the safe country from which they came.
