Energy minister Greg Hands has reiterated the government's challenge to those who are against their plan to send migrants to Rwanda.
Mr Hands said: "What others - the critics of this plan - need to do is to show what their solution would be. We have a position now where last year 28,500 people crossed the channel illegally into this country - that compares with just 300 in 2018.
"A growing problem - we've taken a bold and innovative measure with this agreement with Rwanda to take action here and I think the British people are in support of that."
