Conservative frontbenchers could quit to back a rebellion in order to toughen up Rishi Sunak’s Channel asylum laws amid concerns the controversial legislation is “oversold”,Tory insiders said there was growing concern among MPs on the right of the party that the Illegal Migration Bill, to be debated in the Commons for the first time today, will fail to fulfil the Prime Minister’s pledge to “stop the boats”.
The MPs are worried that the lack of a reliable safe country to deport people to creates the risk that a huge backlog of tens of thousands of asylum seekers who cannot be removed could build up, and that the UK lacks the capacity to detain them. One insider said that without the change, MPs are concerned that more hotels in their constituencies will be filled with asylum seekers left in limbo amid legal wranglings, increasing their chances of defeat at the next election.“So where are you putting 75,000 people until you can deport one person to Rwanda?”
So far, plans to open new asylum processing centres in North Yorkshire and at Pontins sites around the country have faced fierce resistance from Tory MPs and have had to be dropped.
