3:21Now PlayingA senior Tory has admitted there were flaws in the plan to return illegal migrants after the UK left the EU, despite pledges by Boris Johnson that Brexit would mean taking back control of Britain's borders.
In a leaked recording obtained by Sky News, Chris Philp MP, now shadow home secretary, said Britain's exit from the EU - and end of UK participation in the Dublin agreement which governs EU-wide asylum claims - meant they realised they "can't any longer rely on sending people back to the place where they first claimed asylum".
