this is bbc news. the headlines. in the next few minutes — home secretary suella braverman will make a statement to mps about conditions at one of the centres where migrants to the uk are held — and also on the attack on one facility yesterday. the bbc has obtained pictures of the conditions inside the migrants holding centre at manston in kent. 4,000 people are packed into a facility designed to hold just 16 hundred. the home secretary is also likely to face questions of mps about the growing row of a private e—mail to send government documents.

the home secretary is due to stand up in the commons shortly to make a statement over worsening conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent. the facility, at manston, is said to be dangerously overcrowded, with reports of an outbreak of diptheria. some 4,000 migrants are being housed there even though it's meant for only up to 16 hundred. she will also address an attack on a facility in dover yesterday, where a 66 year old man from the high wycombe area threw petrol bombs at the immigration centre before killing himself at a nearby petrol station. 700 people were moved to manston after the attack. this is the scene live in the commons. as soon as ms braverman stands up

we'll take you there. we understand she won't be addressing the political firestorm around her decision to send documents from her government email address to her personal account — which she previously resigned over, but it is likely she'll face questions over it from opposition mps. 0ur political correspondent, helen catt is at westminster. the helen catt is at westminster. home secretary had rough the home secretary had a fairly rough few days. expected to have more criticism from the comments. yes this is the first time she spoke it in the comments from appointment to home secretary. she is expected to home secretary. she is expected to be answering questions about that situation at the processing centre at manson at about how it has been allowed to happen, we're now at the point —— manston. there are far larger number of people being kept there than the centre is designed

for and the conditions there. as you said, we know that 700 people were transferred there after the attack in dover. we also know a thousand people arrived on saturday. but of course, this is a problem which the government is very familiar. they know the numbers come across on small boats have been rising, they know they tend to get a boost in number when the weather is fine. and they are coming at the end of the summer with pretty decent weather there would be an expectation of a lot of people arriving. i think she will face lots of questions about how that situation is been allowed to develop. in particular, what her role in this may not have been. that's because sources have told the bbc that she had failed to sign off on ways to move people out of manston immediately, despite being told that that would mean the government was not acting within the law for someone said the advice on that was crystal clear. we also, sources of told the bbc that priti patel when she was home secretary

had been reluctant to sign off on more hotels but she had done it because she knew it was her statutory duty to do so. sources also told the bbc that grant shapps when he was in the role for a few days had also taken action to try and ease some of the congestion at manston. we expect lots of questions to suella braverman about what she did here. a home office spokesperson is said that she took urgent decisions to alleviate issues at manston and source alternate and claims advisory to completely ignore a completely baseless. i claims advisory to completely ignore a completely baseless.— a completely baseless. i think ou'll a completely baseless. i think you'll see _ a completely baseless. i think you'll see a — a completely baseless. i think you'll see a lot _ a completely baseless. i think you'll see a lot of _ a completely baseless. i think you'll see a lot of math. - a completely baseless. i think| you'll see a lot of math. while a completely baseless. i think- you'll see a lot of math. while we wait for her, still questions about her use of her personal e—mail. she is trying to address some of that today, hasn't she? she is trying to address some of that today, hasn't she?— is trying to address some of that today, hasn't she? she has. she sent a letter to the — today, hasn't she? she has. she sent a letter to the home _ today, hasn't she? she has. she sent a letter to the home affairs - today, hasn't she? she has. she sent a letter to the home affairs select i a letter to the home affairs select committee giving her version of events of what happened on the 19th of october. that was the day when she resigned in the afternoon as

home secretary. she resigned to liz truss. and it was after she had sent an official government document about a plan for migration to another mp using her personal e—mail. and she had copied by accident and member of staff, a different mp. in this letter she admits that she was wrong to send that document on her personal e—mail. she says she has been transparent about her mistake in breaching the ministerial code, that is why she had to resign. but she says that none of the information was market sensitive and none was secret. she gave some sort of explanation, perse secret. she gave some sort of explanation, per se but why she was using a personal e—mail, she says she was travelling back from an early morning raid with a national private agency, she didn't have a departmental phone with her and she wanted to work on them migration plan. that's why she received it on her personal e—mail, she says. she

also gives detail about the timeline over which between sending that e—mail, discovering that it had gone to someone in eire and then reporting the breach through the official channels earlier that afternoon. —— in error. she gives quite a comprehensive hour by hour explanation of what she was doing. largely boiling down her explanation is yes, she noticed the error about ten o'clock in the morning and asked the person who received it in error to delete it. she didn't report it until midday because she had been in back—to—back meetings, in effect what she is saying. she said when she had the opportunity to do that she had the opportunity to do that she did then set the official ball rolling, if you like to try report this. she also said she wasn't aware that another mp who staff member was the one copied them by mistake and e—mailed her early in the morning to tell her he was raising it with the chief weapon and he had concerns. she said she didn't see that e—mail until after she started the process. she also said she hadn't seen the

message from the chief weapon till she started the process. although she started the process. although she had coincidently bumped into both of them just before and she had apologised with up quite a comprehensive detailed look but i expect that there will be a lot of questions from backbenchers on whether or not she goes into that, surly labour says her explanation fails to answer all the serious questions about what they say is are irresponsible conduct. they suggested shows that her or rishi sunak who is face questions over decisions whether to reappoint suella braverman recognise the gravity of these issues we should say the prime ministers official spokesman said that rishi sunak does have full confidence of the home secretary. mil have full confidence of the home secreta . �* ~ ., ~ ., secretary. all right. we will take a . uick secretary. all right. we will take a cuick look secretary. all right. we will take a quick look at _ secretary. all right. we will take a quick look at the _ secretary. all right. we will take a quick look at the house _ secretary. all right. we will take a quick look at the house of - secretary. all right. we will take a i quick look at the house of commons. here is the chamber. we're expecting suella braverman, the home secretary to talk very shortly about the migrant crisis, in particular what is going on in manston. and the fact

processing at manston and the incident in dover yesterday. at around 11:20am police were called to western jacks oil. 0fficers establish that two to three and sensory devices were thrown at the home office premises. the suspect was identified, quickly located at a nearby petrol station and confirmed dead. the explosive ordnance disposal unit attended to ensure there were no further threats. kent police are not currently treating this as a terrorist incident. fortunately, there were only two minor injuries but this is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with all of those who are affected. madam deputy speaker, i have received regular updates from the police for that while i

understand the desire for answers, investigators must have the necessary space to work. i know the whole house willjoin me in paying tribute to everyone involved in the response, including the emergency services, military, borderforce, immigration enforcement and the asylum intake unit. my priority remains the safety and well—being of our teams and contractors as well as the people in our care. several hundred migrants were relocated to manston yesterday to ensure their safety. western jack oil is now fully operational again. i can also inform the house that my right honourable friendly minister of integration visited the manston site yesterday and i will visit shortly. my yesterday and i will visit shortly. my right honourable friend was reassured by staff as they worked to make the site safe and secure while

suitable accommodation is found. as members will be aware, we need to meet our secretary duties around attention and fulfil legal duties to provide accommodation who would otherwise be destitute. we also have a duty to the wider public to ensure that anyone who has entered our country illegally undergoes essential security checks and is not immediately free to wander around local communities with no fixed abode. when we face so many arrivals so quickly it is practically impossible to procure over 1000 beds at such short notice. consequently, we have recently expanded the site and are working tirelessly to to improve facilities. there are of course competing and heavy demands on housing stock, including for ukrainians, afghans and social housing. we're negotiating with

accommodation providers. i continue to look at all available options to overcome the challenges we face with supply. this is an urgent matter which i will continue to oversee personally. i will now turn to our immigration and asylum system more widely now. let me be clear, this is a global migration crisis. we have seen an unprecedented number of attempts to illegally cross the channel in small boats. some 40 people have crossed this year alone. more than double the number of arrivals by the same point last year. not only is it unnecessary, because many have come from a non—safe country, it is legally dangerous. we must stop it. it is vital that we dismantle the international crime gangs behind this phenomenon. cooperation with

the french had stopped over 29,000 illegal crossings since the start of the year, twice as many as last year and destroyed over 1000 votes. and now uk france joint intelligence has dismantled over 55 organised crime groups since it was established in 2020. the national crime agency is at the forefront of this fight, indeed mca officers recentlyjoined what is believed to be the biggest ever international operation targeting smuggling networks. this year has seen a surge in the number of albanian arrivals. many of them, i'm afraid to say, abusing our modern slavery laws. we're working to ensure albanian cases are processed and individuals are removed as swiftly as possible, sometimes within days. the rwanda partnership will further disrupt the business model of the smuggling

gangs and deter migrants from putting their lives at risk. i am committed to making that partnership work. labourwant committed to making that partnership work. labour want to cancel it. while we will continue to support the vulnerable via safe and legal routes, people coming here illegally from safe countries are not welcome and should not expect to stay. where it is necessary to change the law we will not hesitate to do so. i share the sentiment that has been expressed from members across the house who want to see cases in the uk dealt with swiftly. 0ur asylum transformation programme will help wring down the backlog. it is already having an impact. a partly in leeds read deuced times and seen productivity almost double. we're also determined to address the wholly unacceptable situation which is left taxpayers with a bill of £6.8 million a day for hotel

accommodation. let me set out to the house the situation that i found when i arrived as home secretary in september at the home office. i was appalled to learn that there were over 35,000 migrants staying in hotel accommodation around the country, at exorbitant cost to the taxpayer. i instigated an urgent review.- home _ taxpayer. i instigated an urgent| review.- home secretary. taxpayer. i instigated an urgent i review.- home secretary. i review. order. home secretary. i -ushed review. order. home secretary. i pushed officials _ review. order. home secretary. i pushed officials to _ review. order. home secretary. i pushed officials to identify - pushed officials to identify accommodation options which would be more cost—effective and delivered swiftly while meeting our legal obligation to migrants. i've held regular operational meetings with front—line officials and have been energetically seeking alternative sites i have to be honest, this takes time and there are many hurdles. iforesaw takes time and there are many hurdles. i foresaw the concerns at

manston in september. and deployed additional resources and personnel to deliver a rapid increase in emergency accommodation. to be clear, like the majority of the british people i am very concerned about hotels but i have never blocked their usage. indeed, since i took over 12,000 people have arrived, 9500 people have been transferred out of manston, many of them into hotel. and i have never ignored legal advice, as a former attorney general i know the importance of taking legal advice into account. and every point at every point i have worked hard to find alternative accommodation to relieve the pressure at manston. what i have refused to do is you prematurely release thousands of people into local communities

without having anywhere for them tuesday. that is notjust the wrong thing to do that would be the worst thing to do that would be the worst thing to do that would be the worst thing to do. for the local community and can't, for the safety of those under our care and for the integrity of our borders. the government is resolute in our determination to make illegal entry to the uk unviable. it is unnecessary, legally dangerous, unfair on migrants who play by the rules and un—fair on the law abiding patriotic majority of british people. it is also ruinously expensive and it makes all of us less safe. madam deputy speaker, as home secretary i have a plan to bring about the change that is so urgently needed to deliver an immigration system that works in the interest of the british people. and i commend this statement to the

house. ,, ., ., ., ,, . ., , house. shadow home secretary, yvette coo er. house. shadow home secretary, yvette c00per- thank— house. shadow home secretary, yvette couper- thank you _ house. shadow home secretary, yvette cooper. thank you madam _ house. shadow home secretary, yvette cooper. thank you madam deputy - cooper. thank you madam deputy speakeh — cooper. thank you madam deputy speakeh i— cooper. thank you madam deputy speaker. i think the home secretary for her_ speaker. i think the home secretary for her statement.— for her statement. yesterday's attack on the _ for her statement. yesterday's attack on the western - for her statement. yesterday's attack on the western jet - for her statement. yesterday's attack on the western jet foill for her statement. yesterday's i attack on the western jet foil was attack on the westernjet foil was appalling. i'm sure the whole house will appal it in the strongest terms with the i echo the tributes to the emergency services and board of our staff who responded. i must ask her, can she tell me whether counterterror police and counter extreme and units are involved in the investigation? it doesn't make sense for them not to be. why are they not? turning to the dreadful conditions at manston, 4000 people are now on a site designed to accommodate 1600 people, some families there for weeks. conditions that have been described as inhumane with risks of fire, disorder and infection. there arm dues are confirmed to ferry outbreaks, reports of scabies and msra

outbreaks with up also reports of outbreaks with up also reports of outbreaks of violence and untrained staff. she said nothing about what she was doing to address those immediate health crisis and also the issues for untrained staff. behind these are deeper failures in the governments policies on asylum and channel crossings. decision—making has collapsed. the home office took just 14,000 initial asylum decisions in the last 12 months compared to 28,006 years ago. 96% of the small boat arrivals last year have still not had a decision. an initial decisions are loan are taking more than 400 days on this conservative governments watch can she confirmed that the nationality borders billing changes to immigration rules of impact added further bureaucracy and delays leading to tens of thousands more people waiting in asylum accommodation and more than hundred million pounds extra on asylum accommodation bills because they are

policies are pushing up the use of hotels and the increase in delays? there's also been a total failure to collect the back protectant delay a huge proliferation of gains in the channel. why is the home secretary refused our calls for a major new national crime agency unit with hundreds of specialist officers to work with others to crack on the gangs, as well as the urgent work needed with france to get a proper agreement in place because matt can she also confirm on the rwanda plant that she has spent an extra £20 million on top of the £120 million already spent on a policy she herself described as failing and that her officials have described as unenforceable and with a high risk of fraud? is in it now time to drop this unethical and unworkable scheme and put the money into tackling the backlogs and tackling for grammatical dues criminal gangs? let me ask her about her own decision.

—— criminal gangs. the home secretary was warned by officials and other ministers, she was acting outside the law by failing to provide alternative accommodation. can she confirm that she turned down plans, contingency plans that she was offered that would have reduced overcrowding as the reports say? there are also legal obligations, including under the 1999 act and the 2018 regulations. can she confirm she was advised repeatedly that she was breaking the law by failing to agree to these plans? 0ne was breaking the law by failing to agree to these plans? one of these meetings on manston was on the 19th of october. can she confirm she refused these proposals on that date? it was the same day that she broke sections 2.3 in sections 1.4 of the ministerial code. can she can affirm or can she tell us whether in fact she breached the ministerial

code, which provides for it ministers abiding by the law because i did she breached the ministerial code three times in a single day? how is anyone supposed to have confidence in her as a home secretary with these serious issues? she reverted a statement to security checks. these are very important her statement is undermined by her own disregard for security. her letter today makes clear that the incident over which you reside was not a one—off and rather contrary to previous claims to reported that bridget is rapidly as soon as you realise, she is said to be challenged at several times but one of her colleagues. she is also not answer the crucial questions about security breaches while she was attorney general. can she tell us whether she was involved in a leak to the telegraph on the 21st of january about information about attorney general action on a case involving security service? has she said any other government documents

by what's up, telegram or other social media? and given that it's been less than a week since she was reappointment in less than a fortnight since she was first forced to resign for breaching the ministerial code, everyday sensor reappointment there have been more stories about possible security or ministerial code breaches, how is anybody supposed to have confidence in her, given the serious responsibilities of the home secretary to stand up for our national security, for security standards and for public safety? the prime minister promised that this would be a government of integrity, professionalism and of accountability. is it the home secretary letting everyone down and failing on all of these counts? to ick failing on all of these counts? trr pick up on some of the specific points of my honourable lady mentions, not to mention on any details relating to the specific case or individual consideration.

there has been clear at work afoot with the nca there has been clear at work afoot with the mca and all partners to try and tackle the problem of illegal migration. i am very encouraged by the relationship that we have built with the french and i am grateful to the french authorities but their real commitment and work on tackling this problem. but it is absolutely clear as i made clear my statement, on no occasion did i block hotels or veto advice to procure a extra emergency accommodation. actually, the data and the facts are that on my watch since the 6th of september over 30 new hotels were agreed, which would provide of a 4500 additional bed spaces which were brought into use. since the start of october over 13 new hotels will 0ctober over 13 new hotels will provide over 1800 additional hotel bed spaces. also, since the 6th of

september at 9000 migrants have left manston. many of them heading towards hotel accommodation. those are the facts with up i encourage the right honourable lady to stick to the facts and not fantasy. however, she raises her of the points and i would just like to say this, my letterto points and i would just like to say this, my letter to the home affairs select committee sent today addresses all of the matters that she has just raised, addresses all of the matters that she hasjust raised, transparently and comprehensively. i've been clear that i made an error ofjudgment. i apologise for that era, i took responsibility for it and i resigned. so madam deputy speaker,... resigned. so madam deputy speaker.---_ resigned. so madam deputy seaker,... ,., ., , resigned. so madam deputy seaker,... ., , ., speaker,... order. does a house want to hear what — speaker,... order. does a house want to hear what the _ speaker,... order. does a house want to hear what the home _ speaker,... order. does a house want to hear what the home secretary - speaker,... order. does a house want to hear what the home secretary has. to hear what the home secretary has to hear what the home secretary has to say? _ to hear what the home secretary has to say? home secretary. | to hear what the home secretary has to say? home secretary.— to say? home secretary. i apologise for the era. — to say? home secretary. i apologise for the era. i — to say? home secretary. i apologise for the era, itook— to say? home secretary. i apologise for the era, i took responsibility - for the era, i took responsibility and i resigned for the error. let's

be clear about what's really going on here. the british people deserve to know which party is serious about stopping the invasion on our southern coast and which party is not. some were 2000 people have arrived on the south coast this year alone. many of them —— 48,000. some of them actual members of criminal gangs. so let's stop pretending that they are all refugees in distress. the whole country knows that that is not true. and it is only the honourable members opposite who pretend otherwise without madam deputy speaker, we need to be straight with the public. the system is broken. the legal migration... chairs cheering. the legal migration is out of control. enter many people

are more interested in playing political power games... covering up the truth then solving the problem. i am utterly serious about ending the scourge of illegal migration. and i am determined to do whatever it takes to break the criminal gangs and fix our hopelessly lax asylum system. that madam deputy speaker is why i am in government. and that is why i am in government. and that is why there are some people who would prefer to be rid of me.— prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. i should _ prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. i shouldjust _ prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. i should just point - prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. i should just point out - prefer to be rid of me. cheering. order. i should just point out that| order. i should just point out that i order. i should just point out that i can— order. i should just point out that i can hear— order. i should just point out that i can hear who's making the noise and it_ i can hear who's making the noise and it will— i can hear who's making the noise and it will be a long time before the call— and it will be a long time before the call to— and it will be a long time before the call to a question.— and it will be a long time before the call to a question. madam deputy seaker, the call to a question. madam deputy speaker. let — the call to a question. madam deputy speaker, let them _ the call to a question. madam deputy speaker, let them dry. _ the call to a question. madam deputy speaker, let them dry. i _ the call to a question. madam deputy

at manston for the incredible dedication they have been showing at a very difficult circumstances, they are doing a superbjob and i hope everybody understands that. the facility at manston, the asylum processing facility was opened in january to take 1500 people and to process them daily, not more than 48 hours maybe 24 hours. that facility operated absolutely magnificent and very efficiently and sold five weeks ago. when i'm afraid, the home secretary took the policy decision not to commission further accommodation. it is that that has led to the crisis at manston. will my right honourable friend the home secretary, i get the house some assurance that firstly adequate accommodation be provided to enable the manston facility to return to its previous work? will she honour

the undertaking given by the member from witham and my honourable friend from witham and my honourable friend from corby who have indicated that this would be a temporary facility handling only people per day and that it would not be a permanent residence? and will she give a further undertaking that under no circumstances will i think my honourable friend for his commitment to safeguarding the people who are at manston and representing his local constituents in the area and i was very pleased to meet with him a few weeks ago to hearfrom him about to meet with him a few weeks ago to hear from him about the situation at manston. as i said, i must gently correct him, however, on no occasion have i blocked the procurement of hotels or alternative accommodation to ease the pressure on manston. i

am afraid that simply is not true, and since... i will repeat it again, but since september the 6th, when i was appointed, over 30 new hotels have been agreed to. they would provide over 4500 additional hotel bed spaces, many of those available to the people in manston was to also since the 6th of september, over 9000 people have left manston, many of those heading towards hotels, so on no occasion have i blocked the use of hotels and i would just gently refer members of the house, who seem to be labouring under that apprehension, that to the home affairs select committee session last week, where officials and the various front line professionals who have been working with me on this issue confirm that we have been working energetically to procure alternative accommodation urgently for several weeks now. there are

procedural and resource difficulties and challenges in doing that quickly. i would very much like to get alternative accommodation delivered more quickly, but we are working at pace deliver contingency accommodation to a —— to deal with this acute problem. thank you very much, madam deputy speaker, and i thank the home secretary verse statement and i joined the whole house in condemning the frightening attack and sending rcp to all those impacted and indeed our thanks to all the people who responded to presciently. the unlawful detention at manston and detention their lies squarely with the home secretary herself and her predecessors. she and they knew what was happening and she was provided with advice that by all accounts she did not act on. she

has very carefully said she did not block new hotels, but why is it that she had her predecessor had to intervene? ultimately, what was the functioning facility in the summer is now totally unsafe, and that was on her watch. looking to the future, what now, the home secretary offers the same old failed sound bites, discredited policies and nasty rhetoric. what we need is a expansion of safe legal routes. instead of under £1 million and a disgraceful rwanda dream. they could've troubled the number of asylum workers working the backlog. and what about the syrians and afghans, half of whom have been waiting for six month? 95% or more will get asylum. they can move on and it will free up accommodation.

last week, the home secretary resigned claim she assented responsivity, but the facts are that she got caught and tried to dodge it. she deleted and forgot, only notify nephi —— the prime minister and ministers... how can it be resignation offence and she can stay this week after admitting six of the very same misjudgments? she said no document of top—secret, but how many were marked official and sensitive? how do we know? having the home secretary after a ministry or cowbridge is a farce. indra flicks poorly on the prime minister. both should think again, so someone else can get all of the real work. i refer the honourable gentleman to the letter that i sent today to the chairman of the home affairs select

committee and i have been upfront about the details of my diary on the 19th of october, cooperative with any review that is taken place. i've apologised, taking responsibility, thatis apologised, taking responsibility, that is why i resigned. i hope the house will see that i am willing apologise without hesitation for what i have done and any mistakes that i have made, but i will not do under any circumstances is apologise for this i have not done. it has been set i sent top—secret documents. that is wrong. it has been said that i sent a document about cybersecurity. that is wrong. it has been said that i sent a document about the two diligence agencies that would compromise national security. agencies that would compromise nationalsecurity. it agencies that would compromise national security. it is wrong. wrong, wrong, wrong. madam deputy speaker, what is wrong is that, and worry, these assertions have been repeated as fact by politicians and journalists, and i'm grateful to have had the opportunity to clarify

the record today.— have had the opportunity to clarify the record today. thank you, madam deu the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker- _ the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker. and _ the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker. and i _ the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker. and i to _ the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker. and i to put - the record today. thank you, madam deputy speaker. and i to put on - deputy speaker. and i to put on record my thanks to all of the first responders to the horrific incidents that happened at dover yesterday. constituents working out in the dover facility have raised concerns about the kind of safety of the —— does my right uncle friend agrees me that this has no place in a busy port like dover and can she look at moving into a more appropriate, secure location immediately? and does she also agree that we cannot keep doing more of the same, paying millions of pounds to the french but seeing ever—increasing numbers of illegal arrivals? seeing ever—increasing numbers of illegalarrivals? is seeing ever—increasing numbers of illegal arrivals? is now the time for a new approach with the french, a joint general security zone to tackle this issue and bring an end to this illegal immigration activity once and for all? i to this illegal immigration activity once and for all?— to this illegal immigration activity once and for all? i want to thank my honourable — once and for all? i want to thank my honourable friend _

once and for all? i want to thank my honourable friend for _ once and for all? i want to thank my honourable friend for her _ honourable friend for her indefatigable campaigning on this issue, and i have been very grateful to her for her direct issue, and i have been very grateful to herfor her direct input on issue, and i have been very grateful to her for her direct input on this issue. this isn't readily difficult. i do not want to sugar—coat the problem. there are incredibly multifaceted challenges that we have to deal with, and when it comes to manston, like her, i am very concerned about the conditions i have been so for several weeks. that is why have taken urgent action to stand up and operational team to increased the emergency connotation on the site, on a temporary and emergency basis. i was not willing to release hundreds of migrants into the local community. i will not do that. and i will do everything i can to find cost—effective and practical alternatives. we need to find many more sites for accommodation and beds. we are looking at all instances, whether that is hotels, land owned by other agencies, mod or

other government departments, looking at other dispersal around the country. we have to look exhaustively, but it is not easy. i look forward to her attending at the homes committee on the 22nd of november. we heard evidence last week that manson was at breaking point. we are also told by the home office director general for customer services that three hotels were approved, one week ago when the right honourable member was the then home secretary. so can this home secretary confirm exactly how many hotels or alternative accommodation options she was personally invited by her officials to approve for use during herfirst tenure by her officials to approve for use during her first tenure as home secretary, and how many hotels or

alternative accommodation options she actually did grant approval and permission for during her time, and finally, perhaps the home secretary might wish tojoin finally, perhaps the home secretary might wish to join the home affairs select committee when we visit manson again for the second time this week? ~ ., this week? well, i read with interest the _ this week? well, i read with interest the session - this week? well, i read with interest the session that. this week? well, i read withj interest the session that the honourable lady conducted last week at her— honourable lady conducted last week at her select committee and i was... i at her select committee and i was... i want _ at her select committee and i was... i want it— at her select committee and i was... i want it on_ at her select committee and i was... i want it on record my immense thanks— i want it on record my immense thanks to — i want it on record my immense thanks to the officials that you heard — thanks to the officials that you heard evidence for from our brilliant _ heard evidence for from our brilliant and simply the best in the business. — brilliant and simply the best in the business, they worked and day day out to— business, they worked and day day out to get— business, they worked and day day out to get the best service and i know _ out to get the best service and i know from — out to get the best service and i know from question 67 to 78 approximately there was a lot of discussion about my involvement in my grip _ discussion about my involvement in my grip of— discussion about my involvement in my grip of the situation and i encourage all members to read that section— encourage all members to read that section of— encourage all members to read that section of the transcript, which confirms— section of the transcript, which confirms on the record my officials with whom — confirms on the record my officials

against trafficking, the original convention that underlines modern slavery laws and actually, if those people are genuinely modern slavery victims, they should be claiming that in albania.— victims, they should be claiming i that in albania._ the that in albania. diane abbott. the home secretary _ that in albania. diane abbott. the home secretary will _ that in albania. diane abbott. the home secretary will be _ that in albania. diane abbott. the home secretary will be aware - that in albania. diane abbott. thej home secretary will be aware that one of— home secretary will be aware that one of the — home secretary will be aware that one of the problems with the asylum system _ one of the problems with the asylum system is _ one of the problems with the asylum system is the unacceptably long time it takes— system is the unacceptably long time it takes to _ system is the unacceptably long time it takes to process claims. the home affairs _ it takes to process claims. the home affairs select saw evidence from the independent chief and he told us that currently caseworkers, decision—makers, are making 1.3 decisions — decision—makers, are making 1.3 decisions a — decision—makers, are making 1.3 decisions a week. the leeds pilot which _ decisions a week. the leeds pilot which is _ decisions a week. the leeds pilot which is referred to has put the number— which is referred to has put the number of— which is referred to has put the number of decisions up to 2.7 decisions _ number of decisions up to 2.7 decisions per week. doesn't the home

our plan to solve the problem is to speed up asylum processing. orbiting more resources behind it, were putting more technology behind it, we are identifying the problem. it's a big problem clogging up the system and we see it playing out at manston. and we see it playing out at manston-— and we see it playing out at manston. . , , ., ., ., manston. clearly the situation at manston. clearly the situation at manston has _ manston. clearly the situation at manston has become _ manston. clearly the situation at i manston has become unsustainable because _ manston has become unsustainable because of the record numbers coming across— because of the record numbers coming across the _ because of the record numbers coming across the channel, 40,000, november was the _ across the channel, 40,000, november was the highest number last year. we haven't_ was the highest number last year. we haven't seen — was the highest number last year. we haven't seen the end of it. a record number— haven't seen the end of it. a record number of— haven't seen the end of it. a record number of albanians, 12,000 up from 'ust number of albanians, 12,000 up from just 52 _ number of albanians, 12,000 up from just 52 years _ number of albanians, 12,000 up from just 52 years ago. following on from his question, what exactly is the arrangement with albania about returns? —— just 50 two years ago.

incumbent on this government, and i know that this prime minister takes this issue extremely seriously, and i know he will leave no stone unturned until the problem is fixed. we will leave the home secretary there. suella braverman in the home has of comments answering questions in particular about the situation at manston where we have been hearing there are some 4000 migrants in a facility only designed for up to 1600. she was saying that was not her fault and 1600. she was saying that was not herfault and on no occasion did she veto sending people to hotels as has been alleged. we would like to get some reaction to what she's been saying in the house of commons. what is your view of this situation at manston and the problems they are? the home secretary as you probably just heard saying this is not her fault and in fact since she has been home secretary quite a large number

of hotels have been agreed to, some 9000 people have left manston. it seems like shirking responsibility. she's home secretary, she is in charge, the home office comes under her department and clearly the home office is not functioning, it's not fit for purpose. they decided to put 4000 people into a facility that could maybe have up to 1800. there are a lot of children they are staying there for weeks, there no beds, no mattresses, the floor is. perhaps we are forgetting that asylum seekers are human beings and they deserve to have some sort of dignity and basic standards in this government... the dignity and basic standards in this government. . ._ dignity and basic standards in this rovernment. .. ,., ., government... the point made in the chamber then — government... the point made in the chamber then is _ government... the point made in the chamber then is that _ government... the point made in the chamber then is that most _ government... the point made in the chamber then is that most of - government... the point made in the chamber then is that most of the - chamber then is that most of the people at manston are from albania which a couple of the mps are saying is not a war zone, what's your reaction to that?— is not a war zone, what's your reaction to that? that is for the home office — reaction to that? that is for the home office to _ reaction to that? that is for the home office to deduce - reaction to that? that is for the home office to deduce and - reaction to that? that is for the i home office to deduce and speed reaction to that? that is for the - home office to deduce and speed up their claims and sent back. i think what happened is the home office

spent a year or years deciding the claim and expecting people to be keptin claim and expecting people to be kept in detention for that period, that's not reasonable and a silent claim takes half a day to decide. asylum claims. i know, i have dealt with a claims. that's a sign of a system that is broken, it's not working. we also heard that the speed with which they are decided, 1.3 claims a week. the whole home office are deciding 1.3 asylum claims per week? what are they doing? this is a home office that employed gap year students to make these important sensitive decisions. 50% of those were then overturned by independentjudges. this is a shambles and it's happening on her watch. it happened over the last 12 years. if the current government is

not responsible, then who is? you are saying — not responsible, then who is? you are saying it's _ not responsible, then who is? you are saying it's largely down to the speed of home office decision making? what about the wider point that the home secretary was making there about illegal migration being out of control, we are facing an invasion of our southern coast was back invasion of our southern coast was baci ., , , , invasion of our southern coast was bact . , , , ., , invasion of our southern coast was bac , ., back happening is gangs are operating — back happening is gangs are operating without _ back happening is gangs are operating without any - back happening is gangs are operating without any fear. | back happening is gangs are | operating without any fear. if back happening is gangs are - operating without any fear. if we hear of a war on drugs, was here that they are catching drug dealers and they are getting 20, 30 years, actually people smuggling makes more money than drug dealing. than drug smuggling. we never hear of a war on people smugglers. when they do catch a gang, i think there have been five in the past two years, to get three orfour in the past two years, to get three or four years in the past two years, to get three orfour years in prison and they in the past two years, to get three or four years in prison and they are out. there are no big sentences for them. we need elite units there to catch these gangs. what's happening

is we are punishing the drug users are not the drug dealers. that's not going to stop the drug dealers. punishing them is not going to stop that. the proof is in the pudding. we will hit 50,000 people this year. the people smugglers are in they don't see any reprisal for this. they don't see anything is going to happen to them. they seem they can push as many people through these crossings as they can. the push as many people through these crossings as they can.— crossings as they can. the home secretary did _ crossings as they can. the home secretary did say _ crossings as they can. the home secretary did say the _ crossings as they can. the home | secretary did say the cooperation with the french authorities has stopped. 29,000 crossings, the national crime agency is at the forefront of the fight against people smugglers and smuggling gangs who are operating on the french coast. ., , .. ,, , who are operating on the french coast. ., , .. ,, ., _ who are operating on the french coast. ., , .. ,, ., coast. not successfully obviously a 50,000 coast. not successfully obviously a 50.000 are _ coast. not successfully obviously a 50,000 are getting _ coast. not successfully obviously a 50,000 are getting through. - coast. not successfully obviously a 50,000 are getting through. if - coast. not successfully obviously a 50,000 are getting through. if i'm supposed to stop 80000 and i only stopped 30,000, that is not a win
