this is on top of the joint working taking place already between the police, border force, immigrationorcement, the national crime agency and other law enforcement agencies to ascertain exactly how this incident occurred. diane, day out, they work tirelessly to secure borders against a wide range of threats including people trafficking. and we will continue to work with international partners to keep people safe. this is a tragic loss of life, and i and everyone of my team will continue to update the house as more facts on this dreadful incident become known. diane abbott. i would like to thank the home secretary for early sight of her statement any death under the circumstances is truly appalling, the fact there have been 39 reported deaths in this incident is a tragedy, one of the worst of its kind. each of those will have partners, family and friends who perhaps even now don't know how their loved one died under horrible circumstances. so i am sure i speak for the whole house when i say that oui’ for the whole house when i say that our thoughts, prayers and wishes go out for the lov

the question is, could the border force or police do any more? is possible with a clear border force, and with a bigger borderforce, we could intercept more people who should not be allowed here. and of course after brexit, everyone will be in asylum—seekers who tries to get here, because there won't any longer be any borders. so this is a question where there will be a change and we must adapt to that change, because we are likely to get more people coming in, even though we have the so—called secure borders. so all in all, i think there's lots of things that could be done. but whether it would have any effect in the long run from these war stricken countries wanting to come to a country they believe has good human rights and will treat them humanely — i don't think we will be able to reduce or stop that. it is human nature wanting to get away from terrible, terrible situations. and we in this country should be magnanimous enough to recognise we can't accept everybody, but we need to accept people who are fleeing from war—torn countries and mayb
