Announcing the move in the House of Commons today, she said: ‘The need for reform is obvious and urgent.’
She added: ‘They will not stop coming here until the world knows that if you enter Britain illegally you will be detained and swiftly removed.’ Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper suggested there was little difference between the bill introduced today and last year’s bill from Priti Patel which ‘did not work’.The number of small boats arriving on the shores of the UK has increased significantly in recent years It is expected to take several months for the law to come into effect even if the process goes smoothly, though the government says it will apply retrospectively once it does.
