The measure is contained in a new bill which aims to prevent migrants crossing the Channel in small boats.
, Home Secretary Suella Braverman acknowledged the bill would push "the boundaries of international law" but said it was necessary to "solve this crisis".Ministers expect this bill to cause a row.
It is, remember, one of the PM's five key promises. Three relate to the economy, one to the NHS and the final one is to "stop the boats".It is the "last chance for the Conservatives to sort this," one insider acknowledges - and Tory MPs say it really matters to plenty of the voters they want to keep onside.
Asked if the plan was legally feasible, Sir Keir - who is a former director of public prosecutions - said: "I don't know that it is and I think we've got to be very careful with international law here."that, aside from schemes for people from specific countries such as Afghanistan and Ukraine, there are currently no safe and legal routes for most people to seek asylum in the UK.
