Undocumented Migrants: English Channel

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment of value for money was undertaken in relation to the UK–France Joint Statement of 14 November; and when that assessment will be published.

Answer

The funding arrangement agreed on 14 November was considered in terms of economy, efficiency, effectiveness and equity when considering it’s value.

We work closely with France to tackle illegal migration and jointly monitor the impact of funding arrangements, including the financial package agreed on 14 November, through daily operational contact and regular strategic reviews with agreed metrics.

Our joint work has seen the prevention of over 31,000 crossings so far this year. It would be inappropriate to publish the detail of these reviews as they contain sensitive operational details and relate to ongoing operational bilateral discussions.
