Moving on to deaths of asylum seekers, more than 10 people have already died this year trying to reach the UK on small boats. Last year, over 80 people died trying to reach our shores. That is why I also support new clause 1 to shine a light on the human cost of this broken system. Right now, the Government do not have a system to ensure that a full record of deaths is published. People die in asylum accommodation. People die while waiting for decisions. Also, over 450 children went missing between 2021 and 2024. In 2024, over 100 were still unaccounted for.
