Suella Braverman has insisted to MPs that she did not block emergency accommodation for migrants awaiting processing after crossing the English Channel

The home secretary – who resigned under Liz Truss only to be reinstated by Rishi Sunak – is facing pressure over overcrowding at a centre in Kent

Labour’s Yvette Cooper asked her to confirm in the Commons that she turned down plans that would have reduced overcrowding at Manston processing centre

She responded that she had not, and separately said that the asylum system was “broken”, adding: “Illegal migration is out of control”

Sources have told the BBC that Braverman failed to act to ease pressure at the centre by providing alternative accommodation despite warnings

Record numbers of people arriving via small boats and the situation at Manston has put a spotlight on the asylum system

The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum
