Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 September 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Borders and Asylum.
Borders and Asylum
I will ensure that the hon. Member gets a written response to his questions, but let me also make it clear that all asylum hotels, including the hotel in his constituency, need to close. They need to do so in an orderly manner, and in a way that does not make the problem worse elsewhere or create more chaos, as we have seen in the past. That is the best way for us to reduce the size of the asylum system, to clear all the backlogs, and to ensure that we have an effective system.
