'People are wrong if they assume that Brexit means that the number of refugees seeking safety on our shores will rapidly decline.'

is when certain EU laws stop applying to the UK. This is likely to be when the ‘transitional period’ ends in December 2020. Two areas are key for Calais refugees.

EU law is more flexible and will allow a child to join relatives including grandparents, brother or sister, aunt or uncle. Unless a change is made, at the end of 2020, we will only have UK rules relating to parents. The second is the principle that Sajid Javid quoted so many times when he was home secretary: the idea that a refugee should claim asylum in the ‘first safe county’ in the EU in which they arrive.

In general, the UK government’s response to the situation in Calais focuses on increased security and deterrence. Just this week, in the run up to Brexit, we’ve seen yet more fences being built and some particularly brutal evictions from areas where people sleep rough.
