Ms Patel, who will unveil the plans in the Commons on Wednesday, said: "Under our New Plan for Immigration, if people arrive illegally they will no longer have the same entitlements as those who arrive legally, and it will be harder for them to stay.

"If, like over 60 per cent of illegal arrivals, they have travelled through a safe country like France to get here, they will not have immediate entry into the asylum system - which is what happens today."

The Government will seek to remove those who come through safe countries. Those judged able to remain will, however, only get the new temporary protection status rather than an automatic right to settle. This will allow them to work, but no access to benefits or to bring their family to the UK.

"I make no apology for these actions being firm, but as they will also save lives and target people-smugglers, they are also undeniably fair," said Ms Patel.

She promised extra support for "legal" refugees and "simple, safe and secure" reception centres for asylum-seekers. Sending illegal migrants to processing centres abroad remains an option as a further deterrent.

There will be a new independent age-checking agency to stop adult migrants pretending to be children. Definitions of "well-founded fear of persecution" will be tightened to prevent "unsubstantiated" claims for refugee status.

Asylum-seekers will only have one opportunity to present their case ahead of an appeal to prevent lawyers dragging out it out with new claims. Lawyers will also face court-imposed financial penalties for pursuing "meritless" claims.

People-smugglers will face life terms, rather than the current maximum of 14 years, illegal migrants will face longer sentences, and those for deported criminals who sneak back into the UK will be increased from six months to five years.

Dangerous foreign criminals who have served a sentence ofmore than a year will be barred from claiming asylum by claiming to be victim of modern slavery under a shake-up of the trafficking laws.
