uk news: Rishi Sunak has admitted not enough asylum claims are being processed, but promised to fix the system.
He was responding to questions from Sir Keir Starmer who accused the government of having lost control.
The Labour leader also called for Suella Braverman to be replaced with a “proper home secretary”.
Last week MPs were told that just 4% of those coming to the UK via small boat Channel crossings in 2021 had received decisions on their asylum claims.
The government is also facing questions about severe overcrowding at the Manston asylum processing centre in Kent, which has reportedly led to outbreaks of disease and violence.
There have been reports of over 4,000 people staying at the centre, despite it being meant to hold just 1,600 when it was built.
