New safe and legal routes for asylum seekers to enter Britain should only be established once the flow of “small boats” across the Channel has been stopped, a minister said on Monday.

Policing minister Chris Philp insisted this should be the “sequencing” as MPs returned to Westminster for a showdown over the Government’s deeply controversial Illegal Migration Bill.

But backbenchers are increasingly hopeful that the Government will ditch this stance and agree to an amendment to set up more safe and legal routes for asylum seekers “in tandem” with the crackdown on “small boats”.

Simon Hoare MP, chairman of the Commons Northern Ireland Committee, told the Standard: “The Government needs to have more than one club in its golf bag.”
