Written Question
Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
Monday 13th July 2020

Asked by: Jack Brereton (Conservative - Stoke-on-Trent South)

Question to the Home Office:

What steps her Department is taking to stop migrants crossing the English Channel illegally.

Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary

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.

Policing: Staffordshire

"I absolutely agree. I witnessed the same thing. In seconds, the door was ripped off. As my hon. Friend suggests, those communities—people who have been terrorised by those activities for a long time—are relieved by the police’s actions.

As I was saying, drugs and gang behaviour are the blight of …..."

"With respect, I do not think you are answering my question. Does anyone else have a view on the question that I asked?
