Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the potential number of migrants that will be prevented from entering the UK through small boats in the English Channel as a result of her intelligence sharing and policing agreement with France.

The department does not publish modelling of small boats controls.

This year our joint work with the French authorities has prevented more than 30,000 crossing attempts

The new arrangements builds on this by embedding UK officers within French operations for the first time.
