Suella Braverman outlined the government's new small boats bill to MPs in the Commons on Tuesday, part of Rishi Sunak's plan to stop channel crossings and reduce illegal migration to the UK.

The home secretary said the UK's current asylum system had been overwhelmed by illegal arrivals and claimed up to 100 million people could qualify to come to the UK if safe and legal routes were unlimited. The bill includes placing a legal duty on the home secretary to detain and remove nearly all those who arrive 'irregularly', as well as constraints on the rights of asylum seekers to use a judicial review to challenge decisions. The law will be backdated to allow the removal of anyone who reaches the UK from the moment Braverman announced the plan to MPs.
