Rishi Sunak faces pressure to introduce safe asylum routes from France after Channel tragedy
in the Commons, Mr Simmonds spoke of one of his constituents, who was a “significant academic of international standing” who came to the UK as a refugee from Iran “a couple of years ago”.
“The establishment of safe routes is the only way to put the people traffickers out of business and prevent people dying needlessly in the Channel.” “That’s a sign that we are strengthening our resolve, that we are strengthening our will and we are strengthening our efforts to do more,” Ms Braverman added.
Ms Hart said “discussions are going on” about the use of Pontins Camber Sands, but said councils and public health officials locally “have voiced our serious concerns, which we all share, about the suitability of the Pontins site at Camber for accommodation for asylum seekers”. “I think we’ve got enough issues with some of the levels of deprivation we’ve got, to start seeking to host thousands of asylum seekers in coastal communities I don’t think is a sensible option.”
