There is no way to stop the flow of illegal migrants to this country unless we detain them immediately upon arrival and deport them as soon as possible.

I agree with the Home Secretary that the failure of our last Government to control immigration was unconscionable, and our new leader has rightly apologised for our failure.

Some of us on the Back Benches warned the Government at the time, but there we are — that is the past.

Looking to the future, I agree that we all want to return illegal migrants to where they came from.

I asked the Home Secretary to list the countries that human rights lawyers say are so unsafe that people cannot be returned to them.

What is the deterrent for people from those countries if we do not have an offshoring policy?
