Ministers have scrapped plans to introduce 'pushback' tactics against migrant boats crossing the Channel
A group of migrants brought in to Dover, Kent, onboard a Border Force vessel following a small boat incident in the Channel.Mr Jenrick said in a parliamentary written answer: "There are limited circumstances in which small boats can be turned around safely in the English Channel.
"In view of this, the policy is currently withdrawn and there are no current plans for the turnaround tactics to be reintroduced under defence primacy." The controversial strategy would have seen migrant dinghies intercepted in the Channel and sent back to France.Parliament passed legislation earlier this year introducing powers allowing the small boats to be turned around.She insisted they would remain under review, despite the French government previously saying it would break international maritime law.
