We have announced a clear and uncompromising plan to remove all illegal migrants from the UK. Operation Restoring Justice.
Reform UK will implement a five-year emergency programme to identify, detain, and deport illegal migrants in the UK. We will leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act and pass the Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill to ensure that anyone who enters the country illegally will be ineligible for asylum. We will establish a UK Deportation Command and use all the available levers of the state to identify illegal migrants and deport them, including rapidly building Secure Immigration Removal Centres with capacity for up to 24,000. The Foreign Office will secure return agreements with other countries as a matter of priority and up to five deportation flights per day will be chartered by the Home Office (with an RAF Voyager on six-hour ‘hot-spare’ readiness).
Over 10 years, this programme will lead to a net saving of £42 billion for the taxpayer (£7 billion during the first Parliament).
