Dame Angela Eagle
Given that the Conservative party processed virtually nobody who came over in a small boat, they are still in the asylum backlog that we are attempting to deal with.
Laura Kyrke-Smith (Aylesbury) (Lab)
I am pleased to see this Government taking swift action to tackle the small boats crisis, including scrapping the Rwanda scheme, which was not only ludicrously expensive but inhumane and ineffective. Will the Minister confirm that it is possible to manage our borders in a way that is both effective and humane, and that we will do that?
Dame Angela Eagle
That is certainly the balance that this Government are aiming to achieve.
