Reform UK has pledged to prosecute lawyers who help illegal migrants make false claims about being homosexual.
Nigel Farage's party plans to make facilitating false asylum claims a "strict liability" criminal offence, meaning prosecutors would not have to show intent, with a potential two-year prison sentence.
The policy would bring the practice in line with the current legislation in place for lawyers and legal firms that fail to prevent bribery and tax evasion.
“If you were a corrupt accountant and you got your client to avoid paying tax that they legally should be paying, well, it’s very simple, that accountant can be open to criminal charge," Mr Farage told The Telegraph.
"The same should happen to this industry that has now sprung up amongst our legal profession, the illegal immigration industry.
"If you’re a lawyer giving illegal information like this to somebody, not only could that person pose a threat to women and girls or even national security, but you, as a lawyer, should yourself be subject to prosecution."
It comes after a BBC investigation exposed law firms and advisers charging thousands of pounds to help asylum seekers pretend to be gay so they could make a successful claim to stay in the UK.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has promised lawyers would "face the full force of the law" for assisting with false claims.
She said: "Anyone abusing protections for people fleeing persecution over gender or sexual orientation is beyond contempt."
