The number of migrants arriving on the UK’s shores continues to rise, with over 2,200 crossing the English Channel recently. French patrol boats are escorting migrants to Dover, where they disembark wearing life jackets. Recent data shows that 1,378 migrants arrived over the past five days alone, totaling 3,434 for the year. The Home Office is working on legislative measures to combat small boat crossings, emphasizing the need for enhanced tools and enforcement against people-smuggling gangs.
We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security.
We are delivering real change in our approach through legislation to create new tools, powers, offences and enforcement action which will keep us one step ahead of the people-smuggling gangs.
