Illegal Migration - Briefing on how your money will be spent
The Prime Minister has secured a deal with President Macron to establish a new detention centre in France, the deployment of more French personnel, and enhanced technology to patrol beaches in a shared effort to drive down illegal migration. This enhanced cooperation aims to increase the interception rate for attempted crossings and drastically reduce the number of crossings each year. This builds on the largest ever small boats deal the PM secured with France last year, which saw Border Force officers deployed to France for the first time, and the Stop the Boats Bill we announced this week to ensure nobody who enters the UK illegally can remain here. We are delivering on our promise to stop the boats. Today’s announcement goes further than ever before to put an end to this vile trade in human life. Working together, the UK and France will ensure that nobody can exploit our systems. Govt are doing this by : Building a new detention centre for the first time to prevent the crossings
