Written Question
Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
Monday 7th June 2021

Asked by: Natalie Elphicke (Labour - Dover)

Question to the Home Office:

What steps her Department is taking to stop illegal immigration across the English Channel.

Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary

The danger to life from Channel crossings and the criminality behind it is simply unacceptable.

Journeys are often illegally-facilitated and totally unnecessary; France and other EU countries are safe with fully functioning asylum systems.

We are working tirelessly to make this route unviable.

We are introducing legislation to fix our broken asylum system and create a fairer and firmer system.
