Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Angela Eagle and Alison Griffiths

Monday 7th July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Alison Griffiths (Bognor Regis and Littlehampton) (Con)]

How does the Home Secretary propose to reduce the number of people in asylum accommodation in Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, given that even the Prime Minister admits that the situation in the channel is deteriorating?

[Dame Angela Eagle]

By speeding up the asylum process, so that people are not trapped in asylum hotels by huge backlogs, and by increasing decision making by 116%, following the 70% fall that we saw in the three months before the last election, we will get the system moving again.
