Rishi Sunak Pledges to Stop the Boats in 2023
Prime Minister's Promise May End Illegal Entry as a Route to Asylum in the UK
Government Banks on Stop the Boats Bill to Fulfil Pledge
In his first major speech of 2023, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged twice to stop the boats carrying illegal immigrants across the English Channel. The UK government is placing its hopes on the Stop the Boats or Illegal Migration Bill to deliver on this promise by ending illegal entry as a route to asylum in the UK.
Sunak's pledge is part of his five promises for 2023, which also include cutting taxes, reducing inflation, and improving healthcare. The government believes that stopping the boats will help to reduce illegal immigration and protect the UK's borders.
