    1. How long would it take to cross the English Channel from Calais to Dover by rubber dinghy, assuming a boat speed of around 3 mph?

    2. For the year ending June 2025, what percentage of people arriving by small boat in the UK were granted permission to stay?

    3. How much are people staying in hotels while seeking asylum paid per week? (N.B. accommodation, meals and basic toiletries are provided.)
