Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
- Question
-
What steps her Department is taking to stop migrants crossing the English Channel illegally.
- Answer
-
We have a duty both to protect our borders and prevent loss of life. That’s why we are doing everything we can to stop these dangerous Channel crossings and bring to justice the criminals behind this evil trade.
No one should be making these dangerous and illegally-facilitated crossings. France is a safe country with a well-run asylum system.
The National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement, Border Force and UK Police are working closely with French authorities to stop ruthless criminals who facilitate the crossings, putting lives at risk. A UK-France Coordination and Information Centre was opened in Calais in November 2018 to co-ordinate law enforcement activity.
