Andy Burnham has finally addressed the migrant crisis for the first time since taking office last week, pledging to continue to work on closing taxpayer-funded hotels housing asylum seekers.
It comes as almost 1,000 migrants (881) made the journey by small boat in the last week, with one mega dinghy carrying 165 migrants on one vessel as the largest arrival from a single boat on record.
Asked whether Mr Burnham would like to see the hotels closed, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman replied: “The work on that continues.”
He added there “is no change in that work that’s being carried out by the Home Secretary (Shabana Mahmood) in her department”.
The spokesman said Mr Burnham had focused in his first week as Prime Minister “on taking immediate action to give people and families breathing space on the cost of living”.
He earlier said: “I think the Prime Minister’s been clear in recent weeks that immigration is an issue that matters to people.
“He’s been clear in his reappointment of Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary to continue to deliver the reforms needed to restore fairness to the system and get migration under control.”
The Prime Minister pointed to progress under the Home Secretary's reforms, with numbers down on last year and the use of hotels for asylum accommodation falling – with plans for every one to be shut for good by the end of this Parliament.
Mr Burnham is said to "not be complacent", with more to do to create a system with "control at its heart".
Meanwhile, he failed to accept allegations from critics he was "sub contracting" the immigration issue out to Ms Mahmood, and said there were a range of ways the Government is tackling migration to bring order to borders.

Screw You Taxpayers
Whatta bout closing the beaches and beach heads?
881? Not really significant given that the goat-humpers that are already there probably give birth to about 100 new jihadists per week.
It was a nice country they used to have.
“work on”
Good thing the Germans in 30s and 40s didn’t know how easy it is to do.
Just another Muslim invasion ... the world better wake up.
Laddies, here are your Quonset huts.
That’s the outhouse over there.
Just grab your metal two-gallon bucket and walk half-a-mile to get some water at that building way over there.
That plastic tub can be filled with water and you can then wash your clothes.
If you want to take a shower just fill your bucket, stand in the shower and have another laddie climb the ladder and pour the water into the shower water tank.
If you want the water to flow just turn the handle until it points to ON, like this.
If you want to stop the water flow, just turn the handle until it points to OFF, like this.
Welcome to the new United Kingdom.
This is very much like Afghanistan, but where are the women to get the water and wash the clothes?
Back where you came from, laddies!
Burnham won’t last 12 months.
There is an official way to migrate or seek asylum.
What they have is an invasion.
Just put them up in nice hotels at tax payer expense, give them a $5000 living budget and a 12” knife and call it good.
And it is being allowed because leftist labour wants it regardless of whatever platitudes Burnham or says. In contrast notice how quickly the US Mexico border was shutdown once Trump resumed being President.
