The UK’s deal to pay France £662m to police small boat migrants on beaches will only force more people to make the perilous Channel crossings, charities have warned.
Riot-trained police will be sent to beaches in France as part of the deal that aims to stop migrants from coming to the UK by boat. The Home Office has also promised a 40 per cent increase in the number of enforcement officers on the ground in northern France, bringing the total to nearly 1,100.
