By Sarah Young LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Monday his plan to stop migrants arriving in small boats had reduced crossings by 20%, an update he hopes will ease criticism from his party and in the country over immigration policy. Sunak, who is expected to lead his governing Conservative Party into a national election next year, has promised to "stop the boats" from crossing the English Channel as one of his five pledges after he was propelled to power in October last year. But he has been criticised by members of his own party and the public for not moving quickly enough, with people protesting about the housing of [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=hundreds hundreds] of [https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=migrants migrants] in hotels after record numbers arrived in Britain last year. "In the five months since I launched the plan, crossings are now down 20% compared to last year," Sunak told a news conference in [https://hararonline.com/?s=southern%20England southern England]. "The plan is working," he said, adding his government was not complacent and would work hard to make sure parliament passed a new law. The [https://www.paramuspost.com/search.php?query=opposition%20Labour&type=all&mode=search&results=25 opposition Labour] Party said Sunak had failed to clear the backlog of tens of thousands of asylum claims and that 7,600 people had crossed the English Channel so far this year.

He said a deal with Albania had meant that [https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Britain Britain] was returning more migrants to the country and that London was increasing its provision of accommodation for those awaiting immigration decisions. Sunak said so far this year "the number of Albanian small boat arrivals has fallen by almost 90%" and that Britain was now accepting one in 50 Albanian asylum cases compared with one in five previously. More than 5,000 asylum seekers in total would be moved out of hotels - which currently cost 6 million pounds ($7.4 million) per day - into two new sites and two new vessels, the interior ministry said.
