More than 50 Tory MPs say a legal change would speed-up the return of illegitimate asylum seekers.
More than 50 Tory MPs have urged PM Rishi Sunak to alter "quirks" in modern slavery laws to make it easier to send some migrants home.
The source said Ms Braverman and Mr Sunak were working "to bring in reforms to help stem the flow of migrants across the Channel".Last week, figures calculated by the BBC suggested more than 40,000 migrants have crossed in small boats from France so far this year. The signatories argue that a provision in current law prevents the government from returning a person who says they are a victim of modern slavery to their original home.
"The quirks in our modern slavery laws that prevent this are clearly in defiance of the aims of that law and should be removed."
