Suella Braverman – 2022 Comments on Visit to Manston

The comments made by Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, on 3 November 2022.

Today I met with our expert teams at Dover and Manston who work tirelessly to save lives and protect the UK’s borders. I saw first-hand how we’re working to reduce the number of people in Manston, support people there, and thank staff for all their efforts.

I am incredibly proud of the skill and dedication shown to tackle this challenging situation here on a daily basis.

This is a complex and difficult situation, which we need to tackle on all fronts. We need innovative solutions. To break the business model of the people smugglers, we need to ensure that the illegal migration route across the Channel is ultimately rendered unviable.
