- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce illegal migration.
- Answer
-
Last November, we announced the most significant reforms to the asylum system in a generation, and on 30 June introduced the Immigration and Asylum Bill to deliver them.
We are already backing these reforms with action: by December 2025, returns had increased by 27% and illegal working visits by 77% compared with the previous 18 months, while small boat arrivals are down 40% in 2026.
