PM making progress with France on small boats, says No 10
Downing Street, French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to England, said he expects to “make good progress” to fight small boats passing through the channel.
The problem is an important point of discussion during Macron’s visit to the state, and on Tuesday, the government expects the new forces to “soon operate” that allowed the French police to move before reaching the open water.
During his visit to the French President, the prime minister spokesman refused to say that the “an exit” refund agreement would be decided.
However, the spokesman said that the negotiations between Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Macron were “bearing fruit”.
“We are constantly talking and we are constantly in contact with the French about how our common action can go further in order to end the misery given by these gangs to our borders.”
The Prime Minister pressure to make the center of a new agreement with France to make a “one”.
The arrangement will allow Britain to return the immigrants who came to France with a small boat in exchange for accepting asylum seekers in the UK.
Downing Street has separate negotiations with the European Commission to overcome the opposition against the agreement of the five Mediterranean countries that complain that they may have to accept people who are deported from the UK.
Instead of asking France to be on land, Sir Keir forces France to review the rules to allow the police to intervene while the boats are shallow.
Last week BBC witnessed French officers using a knife to pierce a inflatable boat After starting in a visible tactical change.
“The French now want to bring important new tactics to stop the boats in the water, and we expect this to be operational soon.
He said: “We are the first government to make an agreement with the French to review the sea tactics in order to intervene in the shallow waters of the border executive teams.
“This is operational and legally complex, but we work close to the French.”
Since his arrival in power in July last year, Labor has announced a series of measures that use people, including a new crime of endangering the lives of others in the sea.
The legislation through parliament reveals their plans to use the anti-terrorist forces against human smugglers-the suspects face travel bans, social media outages and telephone restrictions.
However, the latest figures show that 2025 broke a new record for small boat arrival in the first six months of the year, because the data was first collected in 2018.
Between January and June, approximately 20,000 people pass the British channel on small boats – an increase of 48% compared to the same period in 2024.
