Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to help prevent migrants crossing the channel in small boats.
- Answer
-
The Home Office is working at pace to introduce legislation to tackle illegal migration.
The Bill will deliver the Prime Minister’s commitment, as set out in his oral statement on 13 December 2022 (Official Report, column 885 to 888), “to make it unambiguously clear that, if you enter the UK illegally, you should not be able to remain here. Instead, you will be detained and swiftly returned either to your home country or to a safe country where your asylum claim will be considered. You will no longer be able to frustrate removal attempts with late or spurious claims or appeals, and once removed, you should have no right to re-entry, settlement or citizenship.”
Further details will be set out in due course.
