Dame Angela Eagle

Labour — Wallasey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 March 2025

Debate

Asylum Hotels and Illegal Channel Crossings

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman says that Wethersfield is now getting more people, but it is still not holding the numbers that his Government planned for it to hold when it was opened, so that is rather an odd argument for him to make. If he was serious about reducing the problems at our borders, I would have thought that he would want to support the counter-terrorism-style powers in the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, but it seems that he is not.
