Suella Braverman breached her duty as home secretary by failing to provide asylum-seekers – including pregnant women and young children – with sufficient support while waiting for their claims to be determined, the High Court has ruled.
The Royal Courts of Justice heard on Friday that Ms Braveman acted unlawfully in withholding £3-a-week payments for healthy food for pregnant women and children between the ages of one and three while in the care of the British state.
