UK and France sign landmark deal to stop migrants crossing Channel
“I’m pleased we’re signing a new deal with the French, the highlights are a 40% increase in patrols happening and for the first time, British officials embedded in French operations to strengthen co-ordination and the effectiveness of our operation.
Drones and night vision capabilities will also be used as nearby countries including Belgium and Holland are brought into help the crackdown. The Prime Minister added: “When it comes to migration more generally I do think that the absolute priority that the British people have right now, as do I, is to grip illegal migration.
“But there's a range of things I'm working on, including the French deal, where I'm confident we can bring the numbers down over time and that's what I'm gonna deliver." Mr Jenrick said that the UK’s generosity was being abused by people who are “skipping the queue” putting a huge strain on the immigration system.
