The Home Office already requires the collection of biometric data (facial images and fingerprints) from all individuals who enter the UK unlawfully, subject to very limited exceptions including for children under five. This was recently confirmed by the Government in response to a Parliamentary Question about the issue: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2025-06-10/58585 The powers for this are in the following laws: • Section 141 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, for fingerprints • Regulation 2 of the Immigration (Collection, Use and Retention of Biometric Information and Related Amendments) Regulations 2021, for photographs You could start a new petition calling for the above powers to be made a legal requirement, if that's something that you'd like to see. We could also accept a petition calling for new English Language requirements for people to be able to seek asylum in the UK.
