Question to the Home Office:

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help end crossings by small boat across the English Channel.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

I refer the Honourable Member to the statement made by the Home Secretary on 10 February 2025, when moving the Border, Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill for its second reading.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to strengthen deterrents against people smugglers involved in illegal Channel crossings; and what steps the Government is taking with its international counterparts to dismantle these criminal networks.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

I refer the Honourable Member to the Written Ministerial Statement (UIN UCSW406) made by the Home Secretary on 30 January 2025 on the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate his Department has made of the number of irregular migrants that will enter the UK via the English Channel in each of the next five years following the passing of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

An impact assessment of the Bill is published at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/border-security-asylum-and-immigration-bill-2025-impact-assessment.

This includes analysis of how the new powers in the Bill could achieve the intended impacts, including by leading to more effective interventions in disrupting and prosecuting those who seek to facilitate irregular migration to the UK. The Home Office will continue to monitor and evaluate measures within the Bill once they have been implemented, subject to Parliament’s approval.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to clause eight of the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, which civil servants would be eligible to serve as the Interim Border Security Commander.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Border Security Command (BSC) was established on 5 July 2024 and Martin Hewitt CBE QPM took on the role of Border Security Commander on 7 October 2024. The BSC’s first priority is tackling organised immigration crime (OIC) and reducing irregular migration to the UK, and the Commander is already providing effective systems leadership to deliver this. Any announcements on how the BSC will report on its activities will be made in the normal way in due course.

If the Secretary of State was obliged at some future point designate a civil servant as the Interim Border Security Commander, they would make the decision based on the individuals.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been (a) charged and (b) convicted for offences relating to supplying small boat parts to gangs involved in smuggling people across the English channel in (i) 2022, (ii) 2023 and (iii) 2024.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

As the Rt Hon Member will be aware, the recently introduced Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill proposes a new offence relating to the supply of articles for use in Organised Immigration Crime, through which we will seek to clamp down on the activities to which his question refers. In respect of charges and convictions in pervious years where these activities were a factor, this data is not held centrally.
