I know the shadow Minister is an intelligent man who thinks a lot about these things. Has he considered for a moment why there are so many refugees globally, and why there are 70 million people without a home to call their own? Has he considered the effects of wars,...

The media, Reform and all on the far right in Britain have created the most horrible and dangerous atmosphere in this country against refugees, migrants and minorities. They have promoted racism, and that racism has played out in the violence on the streets, the violence against mosques, the violence against...

That this House notes that Government are consulting on the use of physical restraint techniques to be applied to children during the removal process in the asylum system, including the handcuffing, carrying and physically handling of a child, which is well recognised as inducing psychological trauma to a child; therefore calls on the Government to immediately withdraw such considerations, instead providing a safeguarding approach to children in the asylum system, treating them with dignity and care and engaging with their distressed forms of communication, including refusal to comply with officers in the system; and condemns such considerations of promoting the use of physical restraint to children.

That this House notes that 2024 was the deadliest year ever at the UK-France border with NGOs also witnessing increased levels of non-fatal border violence throughout 2024 and 2025; further notes the new Humans for Rights Network report You Can’t Stay, But You Can’t Go has found high levels of state-organised violence against people throughout their time at the border alongside state neglect, as well as the Project Play report We Want To Be Safe documenting a sharp increase in instances of police violence against migrant children and record child fatalities in 2024 at the UK-France border; acknowledges that the Government does not officially record or report on these deaths at the border; and calls on the Government to establish an independent statutory public inquiry into the UK’s role in the escalation of border violence to demonstrate cross-border accountability for incidents and fatalities in the Channel, to end the criminalisation of people seeking asylum, and to ensure the availability of safe and accessible routes to asylum.

That this House welcomes the publication of the new report entitled Welcoming Growth: The Economic Case for a Fair and Humane Asylum System by the PCS trade union and Together for Refugees, based on research by the London School of Economics; further welcomes the proposals to process all asylum claims within six months, to provide legal assistance at all steps of the applications process and to provide migrants with English language and employment support from day one of their arrival; notes the findings that implementing these four changes would represent significant net financial savings to the taxpayer; and further notes the increased likelihood of refugees securing employment at an earlier stage, leading to higher salaries and tax contributions and reduced reliance on public services; and therefore calls on the Government to give full consideration to the implementation of that report’s proposals.

When the right hon. Member has finished denigrating every community that has made its home in this country, will he reflect for a moment on the massive contribution made in education, in health, in transport and in many other industries by people who have come to this country? When he...

Could the Home Secretary explain why, in the introduction of this White Paper, the language of Enoch Powell was used by the Prime Minister? There has been no speaking up about the enormous value of migration to this country, which has kept our NHS running, our education service running and...

I thank the Minister for the remarks she just made. Would she accept that people who make an incredibly dangerous journey and are exploited in doing so are often totally desperate, are victims of human rights abuse and war, and have been through horrendous journeys to get there? One day,...

Like the right hon. Member for Herne Bay and Sandwich (Sir Roger Gale), I have visited Calais on a number of occasions, and I have met people there who are desperate. They are victims of war, human rights abuses, environmental degradation and sheer poverty and desperation. They do not cross...

Does the right hon. Gentleman not agree that the European convention on human rights and the European Court of Human Rights are not a pick and mix? If we are signed up to the convention, we have to abide by the decisions taken by the Court. The right hon. Gentleman...

I am most grateful to the Home Secretary for giving way. Nobody in this House supports criminal gangs or people smugglers. We recognise that they are grotesque people who exploit those in very vulnerable situations. However, the people who get on those boats are desperate. Many of them are victims...

Can the Minister explain why the applications for refugee status made by people who have come to the British Indian Ocean Territory, as it is currently called, cannot be processed now? Why is he instead taking them to St Helena? Will he guarantee that St Helena is not going to...

I thank the Home Secretary for her statement. The tragedy of desperate people dying in the channel is compounded by desperate people dying in the Mediterranean and the Aegean as human beings fleeing all kinds of horrible situation seek a place of safety. Is she co-operating with other European countries...

My hon. Friend will be aware that many people all over Europe, particularly in the Council of Europe, have expressed grave concern about this piece of legislation, which outsources our international obligations under all aspects of humanitarian law. If we pass this legislation, many others will follow, and Europe will...

The hon. Lady is making an excellent speech. Not every country in Europe behaves in the same way and tries to outsource or evade its human rights obligations by exporting refugees and asylum seekers. Does she agree that we ought to give asylum seekers the right to work much quicker...

The point that I was making was that, unlike other countries, we do not encourage and rapidly allow asylum seekers and those granted asylum to work upon arrival. We lose an awful lot of skill from a great number of people who could make a huge contribution to our lives...
