Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

We agree on many things, but perhaps not on this. Does my right hon. Friend accept that, unless we get rid of the pull factor, we will never solve this problem? It is not necessary to go offshore. As my new clause 23 makes clear, it is possible to ensure that anyone who enters this country illegally from a safe country will be held in secure accommodation. The reason people keep coming here is that they know they will vanish in the community and will never be deported. Will my right hon. Friend, who is so good in so many ways, at least look at what we are proposing?
