Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has told ITV News she makes "no apology" for her sweeping reforms of the asylum system.
Earlier, Mahmood had unveiled radical reforms, launching a package of changes which the government called the biggest in "modern history".
She told the House of Commons that the UK was attracting too many applicants due to the "comparative generosity" of the UK’s laws compared to Europe. But she is facing a growing backlash from Labour MPs and criticism from her opponents.
