Home Office figures released today also show that the backlog of asylum cases in the UK has hit a new record high. For some Tory MPs, enough is enough.
Brendan Clarke-Smith, the Tory MP for Bassetlaw, also tweeted:"Need to see these numbers cut drastically going forwards."The ONS figures showed that total long-term immigration was estimated at around 1.2 million in 2022, while emigration was 557,000.
Separate statistics from the Home Office also revealed that the backlog of asylum cases in the UK has hit a new record high. Mr Jenrick suggested that speeding up decisions could, in fact, act as a pull factor for people coming to the UK, saying it was"not correct" that processing illegal migrants' claims faster would reduce arrivals and that"in all likelihood it'll lead to an increase".Asked about the comments, Downing Street said tackling the asylum backlog is"the right approach".
