"I've helped up to 57 countries to help to sort out border problems, and in just about every case, one of the first things that you've got to do is consolidate all the relevant legislation. Now this country, we've got a plethora of acts of Parliament. We've got the Immigration Act 1971, the Asylum and Immigration Act 1999, we've got the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, Illegal Immigration Act 2023, we've got case law,"
"we've got the European Court of Human Rights or Convention of Human Rights, we've got all these things. And it's been so badly constructed in the UK over the years that there are grey areas, there's duplication, there are gaps, there's inconsistency, there's a lack of coherence overall that allows lawyers to exploit all sorts of things, so that's going to happen."

Bolton attributed the core problem to poor Home Office planning, inadequate resourcing for case progression and failure to consolidate legislation.
