Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help tackle organised crime.

Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)

The government is committed to tackling Serious and Organised Crime (SOC). SOC is a major threat to the national security and prosperity of the UK. It costs lives, blights communities, hampers economic growth, and corrodes the global reputation of the UK and its institutions.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) plays a pivotal role in disrupting SOC and In November last year the Prime Minister announced an additional £58m to the Agency’s core budget in 2025/26 to support NCA’s disruptions of serious and organised crime. This represents an increase of 9% from their 2024/25 core budget.

In addition, on 11 June 2025, the Chancellor announced up to £280 million per year for the Border Security Command by the end of the spending review period in 2028-2029. We’ve boosted the NCA’s capacity to tackle organised immigration crime by funding 100 new specialist officers, bringing the total dedicated FTE close to 500.

We have also introduced the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill to bring forward new laws to protect the UK border and our communities. This includes a series of measures to enhance the effectiveness of SCPOs, including a new Interim Serious Crime Prevention Order (ISCPO), which will speed up the process for placing restrictions on suspects to prevent, disrupt and restrict serious crime. The Bill also brings forward new criminal offences related to the possession and supply of articles used in serious crime, targeting those who enable or facilitate such activity. (SOC articles included are vehicle concealments, pill presses and templates for 3D printed firearms components).

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to reduce illegal immigration.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government is pursuing a comprehensive plan to tackle illegal immigration, through targeted enforcement against the small boat gangs, stronger action alongside our international partners to prevent Channel crossings, increasing the removal of people with no right to be in the UK, cracking down further on illegal working, and continuing our efforts to clear the asylum backlog and end the use of hotels by the end of this Parliament.

All of this work will be underpinned by the agreement we are negotiating with our overseas counterparts, and by the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill that is currently proceeding through Parliament.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2025 to Question 65159 on Undocumented Workers: Sharing Economy, how many reports of suspected (a) asylum seekers and (b) irregular migrants working in the gig economy have resulted in enforcement action in each of the last three years.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Hon Member will be aware the that Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill contains new measures requiring companies operating in the gig economy to carry out employment checks on all individuals working for them, further strengthening our controls against illegal working, and it is a matter of regret that the Hon Member and his colleagues voted against those measures at the third reading of the Bill on 12 May 2025.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2025 to Question 65159 on Undocumented Workers: Sharing Economy, whether gig economy platforms are required to report suspected illegal working; and what action is taken against platforms that fail to do so.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Hon Member will be aware the that Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill contains new measures requiring companies operating in the gig economy to carry out employment checks on all individuals working for them, further strengthening our controls against illegal working, and it is a matter of regret that the Hon Member and his colleagues voted against those measures at the third reading of the Bill on 12 May 2025.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will issue guidance on whether gig economy platforms are required to report suspected illegal working.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Hon Member will be aware the that Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill contains new measures requiring companies operating in the gig economy to carry out employment checks on all individuals working for them, further strengthening our controls against illegal working, and it is a matter of regret that the Hon Member and his colleagues voted against those measures at the third reading of the Bill on 12 May 2025.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the letter from Lord Hanson of Flint on 4 June following the second reading of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, how they will play their part in supporting considered dialogue within the Council of Europe that seeks to balance "liberty and security, and justice and responsibility."

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The UK participates in regular engagement with the Council of Europe and its Member States, we look forward to a dialogue on the future of the ECHR as part of that process.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department plans to take to improve the asylum system.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

I refer the Hon Member to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill introduced to Parliament on 30 January (Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill 2025 - GOV.UK.) and the Immigration White Paper published on 12 May (Restoring control over the immigration system: white paper - GOV.UK), both of which will drive forward the Government’s objectives to restore order to the asylum system, and cut costs it imposes on the taxpayer.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how they propose to prevent migrants crossing the English Channel on small boats.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The government is pursing a strategic shift in Border Security, focusing on long-term systemic improvements, smarter, intelligence-led interventions and stronger partnerships across agencies and with countries upstream to target the criminal gangs behind small boat crossings.

The Border Security Command, created in July 2024, and is leading the national response to prevent small boats crossing the English Channel. The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill will give it statutory authority to coordinate across government and law enforcement.

The Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill will also enhance powers for the National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement, and police, enable earlier intervention in smuggling operations and improve the ability to detect, prevent, and prosecute smugglers.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a deterrent to reduce the numbers of migrants arriving in small boats.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

I refer the Honourable Member to the Written Ministerial Statement (UIN HCWS406) made by the Home Secretary on 30 January 2025 on the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill: Written statements - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to (a) bring forward legislative proposals and (b) strengthen enforcement on fast food delivery companies to ensure they are not employing illegal immigrants.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

Yes.

Through the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, the Government is introducing tough new laws to clamp down on illegal working, including in the food delivery sector. This means that for the very first time, employment checks will be extended to cover businesses hiring gig economy and zero-hours workers in sectors like food delivery.

The Government is also already working closely with all major food delivery platforms to ensure they understand their responsibilities in terms of preventing illegal working. As a result, Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat are now undertaking employment checks on all of their workers, including registered substitutes.
