Mr Louie French

Conservative — Old Bexley and Sidcup

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 September 2025

Debate

Borders and Asylum

Contribution

The Home Secretary has today described the people smugglers as criminals and the boat crossings as illegal. Does she therefore agree that the 29,000 individuals who have entered this country illegally from France this year should be classified as lawbreakers who should at least be deported straightaway or be banned from claiming asylum in the future?
