Abstract: This paper examines mental health issues surrounding Tory Party plans to radically change Britains’ immigration laws making the processes attendant upon seeking asylum tougher for those who try. By looking beyond taken-for-granted assumptions associated with refugees and asylum seeking, a number of questions emerge from the Tory Party Plans. The mental health implications of the Tory Party plan for mandatory detention and processing according to quota rather than need are that individual suffering of asylum seekers is likely to be detrimental to individual mental health and well-being.
