Deputy PM Oliver Dowden claims there’s been a “40% increase” in the number of people intercepted in the Channel. This appears to be broadly correct when looking at figures for 2022, compared with the previous year. (1/2)
, 42.5% of all attempts by individuals to cross and 55% of all small boats were intercepted by the French authorities in 2022.
In October 2022, the then director of the Home Office Clandestine Channel Threat Command similarly told thethat “42.5% of the people who have attempted to cross have been stopped crossing; 53.4% of the boats that have been used have been intercepted and destroyed.” By comparison, he said that in 2021, the figures were “approximately 50% of people and about the same for boats”. This suggests that although, roughly speaking, the number of people being intercepted has increased, the percentage of people being intercepted fell slightly over the same period—while the percentage of boats intercepted also rose slightly.
