Suella Braverman plan for list of 'safe' countries for fast-track deportations 'unworkable'
Home Secretary Suella Braverman

POTENTIAL plans by the government to fast-track the removal of asylum-seekers from countries designated “safe” have been branded “unworkable” by campaigners. 

Home Secretary Suella Braverman is said to be drawing up a list of countries deemed safe, including Albania, with claims from its citizens presumed to be “clearly unfounded.” 

Under the plans, reported in the Times, people arriving to Britain in small boats from listed countries would be detained at reception centres, where their asylum claims would be expedited.
