* Fast-track all unfounded asylum
* Fast-track all unfounded asylum seekers with electronic tagging where
necessary and more use of detention as we expand the number of detention
places available.
* Remove more failed applicants.We have more than doubled the number of
failed asylum seekers we remove from the UK compared to 1996. By fingerprinting
every visa applicant and prosecuting those who deliberately
destroy their documents we will speed up the time taken to redocument
and remove people and will take action against those countries that refuse
to cooperate. By the end of 2005, our aim is for removals of failed asylum
seekers to exceed new unfounded claims.
