Blackpool MP Scott Benton claims 'hundreds of millions of people' want to come to 'nearly full' UK
A Lancashire MP warned of "hundreds of millions of people" trying to come to the UK before claiming the "this country is nearly full".
The Illegal Migration Bill aims to stop people claiming asylum in the UK if they arrive through unauthorised means, although it has been denounced by the UN’s refugee agency as an effective “asylum ban”. The House of Commons voted 312 to 250, majority 62, to give the Bill a second reading. When Mr Benton was given his turn to speak, he warned that “we simply can’t accept hundreds of millions of people” as “this country is nearly full”. The Conservative MP said: “Many of the people entering this country in small boats are not genuine asylum seekers.
She added: “Last night Ke Huy Quan won best supporting actor at the Oscars. In the 1970s, he fled Vietnam in a refugee crisis that saw countries closing their borders to desperate people arriving by boats. Had he arrived on our shores under this Bill, he might well have been locked up and deported.”
