Home Office written question – answered at on 7 June 2021.
Natalie Elphicke
Conservative, Dover
What steps her Department is taking to stop illegal immigration across the English Channel.
Chris Philp
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The danger to life from Channel crossings and the criminality behind it is simply unacceptable.
Journeys are often illegally-facilitated and totally unnecessary; France and other EU countries are safe with fully functioning asylum systems.
We are working tirelessly to make this route unviable.
We are introducing legislation to fix our broken asylum system and create a fairer and firmer system.
