Question to the Home Office:
What steps her Department is taking to prevent migrants from unlawfully crossing the English Channel; and if she will make a statement.
The danger to life from channel crossings and the criminal activity they fund is simply unacceptable.
Journeys are often illegally-facilitated and totally unnecessary, France is a safe country with a fully functioning asylum system.
We are working tirelessly to make this route unviable.
We are also introducing legislation to fix our broken asylum system and create a fairer and firmer system.
