Undocumented Migrants

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's press release entitled UK-France treaty targeting illegal crossings comes into force, published on 7 August 2025, what Border Force's operational strategy is to (a) identify and (b) process groups of inadmissible migrants for removal.

Answer

We do not comment on operations. This would give criminal gangs an insight into our operational processes, undermining the work we are carrying out to deter small boat crossings and tackle the criminal smuggling gangs behind these.
