Labour — Wallasey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 March 2025

Debate

Asylum Hotels and Illegal Channel Crossings

Contribution

I want to get out of hotels as quickly as is feasible. I will not name particular dates, because that is a pointless thing to do. We have to get through the appeals system and the first asylum processing system so that we can move people through the system much more quickly. We also need to continue our work on ramping up returns, which have seen a huge increase—the highest figures for the last five years—and we intend to continue with that process.
