Democratic Unionist Party — East Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 February 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

The shadow Home Secretary notes that the number of asylum claims has gone up since the Government came to power, yet thousands have been wiped off because those people have been automatically given permission to stay in the United Kingdom. Does he not think that one reason we will continue to see people flooding in is that they know we are an easy touch? They can just come here and get granted asylum.
