Labour — Edinburgh East and Musselburgh

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 March 2025

Debate

Asylum Hotels and Illegal Channel Crossings

Contribution

Does the Minister share my astonishment at the shadow Home Secretary’s argument given that the Conservatives wasted tens of millions of pounds on accommodation that could not be used and billions on hotels? The state of the asylum system that we inherited is unbelievable. Will the Minister commit to reforming that seriously dysfunctional system, including scrutinising asylum contracts with the providers when the break clause comes up next year?
