Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2025

Debate

Asylum Hotels and Illegal Channel Crossings

Contribution

If the noble Lord visits the Library and asks which benefits migrants receive, he will find that the Government have a responsibility to pay certain amounts of resource for upkeep but it is not a question of access to a benefits system. We are trying to ensure that we assess those individuals extremely quickly. If he is interested in illegal working then, as I mentioned earlier, we have increased visits and working arrests for those who have slipped into the country and are now working here illegally by 38%.
