- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent discussions he has had with his French counterpart on migrants illegally crossing the English Channel.
- Answer
-
The Sandhurst treaty signed by the PM in January demonstrates the commitment of the UK and France to manage our shared border and deliver enhanced joint action to disrupt and dismantle the Organised Immigration Crime gangs behind irregular migration. We continue to hold regular bilateral discussions on all issues relevant to the Sandhurst Treaty via the UK-France Migration committee, the latest meeting of which took place in London on 30 November.
The UK and France have also agreed to the establishment of a joint centre in Coquelles to combat crime associated with illegal border crossing and the trafficking of vulnerable persons.
