So there will be major changes.
Starting from tomorrow, you will see the most fundamental overhaul in how we actually deal with people arriving into the country.
So people will be reporting in.
They will go through an enhanced processing procedure.
Most importantly, we have had situations under the previous system where people's appeals took years.
We're aiming to have a 12 week to 36 week appeal process for people.
That means from the moment they arrive in.
to the moment where they make an initial application, also including an appeal to the get a decision.
The implications for that, as we get that system up and running from Friday onwards and start dealing with everybody in that, is that we will require fewer IPAS centres.
We will be able to close down those IPAS centres and we'll be processing people through.
That is a radical change.
But what you actually do and get the huge benefit of, because we're doing it in conjunction with our European partners, when someone arrives into the European Union, they will go through a process and that will be their initial process point.
And if they then rock up to another EU member state...
they can be returned to the original member state from which they started the process.
There was an element of that in the previous process.
It was actually ironically called the Dublin process, but it wasn't working and it wasn't working effectively.
And what is important to recognise is that this is an enhanced version of dealing with migration, which Europe has always dealt with collectively.
But we, particularly as a member state, which is why we opted in,
We believe the huge benefits for us are that we will actually get to have that enhanced process.
We will get to have that right of return for people who started their application and the member state.
