Immigration Controls: France

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what forecast they have made of the number of potential migrants who will be prevented from reaching the UK as a result of the terms and provisions of the UK–France Joint Statement of 14 November 2022.

Answer

The department does not publish modelling of small boats controls.

The Joint Statement deepens the UK's partnership with France and is an important step to deter dangerous journeys across the Channel and break the business model of people smugglers. In 2022, our joint activity with the French saw nearly 33,000 of these dangerous, illegal and unnecessary crossings prevented.
