Asylum seekers do not have the right to work normally unless their applications for refugee status takes longer than a year. Instead, if needed housing and subsistence can be provided under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (or section 4 for cases under appeal) |
Then the term "Once here" wouldn't apply, unless it applies everybody once they've get off the train etc.
This is the whole passage.

Refugees
Refugees are victims of wars,
environmental catastrophes,
famine or persecution.
This government has failed its
international legal obligations to
refugees and to allow people to
exercise their rights to seek asylum.
A Labour government will uphold those
rights and meet those obligations.
We will work with others to resume
rescue missions in the Mediterranean,
co-operate with the French authorities
to put an end to the horrific camps,
and establish safe and legal routes for
asylum seekers.
Once here, refugees will have the right
to work, access to public services
and will be treated humanely by
government at all levels.

No mention of having assessed them first.
Almost sounds like they're going to send cruise ships to Libya, Turkey etc to pick them up.
