Royal Navy weighing up Home Office request for support as dozens more migrants intercepted

"It was literally just random and just popped up on shore…. All the border patrol and the coastguard were coming down at the same time because they caught them all at the same time when they got in."

"We're talking to French ministers about preventing people leaving France in the first place, and then finding other ways of making sure that we return boats to France when they're trying to make what is a very dangerous crossing," said Mr Gibb. Human rights barrister Sangeetha Iengar added:"Under refugee law, every person who enters a territory - which extends to 12 nautical miles from the coastline - is entitled to claim asylum. And on the other hand, under international maritime law, all captains of all vessels have a duty to help persons from vessels in distress.

Immigration minister Chris Philp will meet his counterparts from France next week as he seeks to eventually shut down the Calais-to-Britain route. He told Sky News:"What happens when they come into our care, we have a number of reception centres where they undergo a detailed assessment of their needs. Most of them will end up in semi supported accommodation and we have responsibilities up to the age of 25.

The Home Office has said it is possible the Royal Navy might be brought in to patrol the Channel's migrant traffic - a move described as"completely potty" by a Ministry of Defence source.

I thought we had taken back control? Why do we need the French to control our borders all of a sudden?

FYI once they hit the Uk shore they are illegal immigrants not migrants

🤡

This immigration problem actually suits the government very well from two points of view 1) It keeps their other problems off the front pages and 2) it winds up and reinforces their right wing nationalist support.

It’s about time …

And if they don’t

This is France response 'this way to the uk' I dnt see how this is France problem alone the uk seem to think they can boss them but obviously not

They won’t do anything coz we taking bk are fishing waters , that’s y they leaving them cross

Anyone wonder where impoverished migrants got the money to buy life jackets worth more than their annual earnings......something fishy

I'm french guys and absolutely agree with you! But first of all, you need to have less migrants in London and in the neighbourhood. it os insane ! EU is a complete failure.

We don’t need Europe though

An Indian demanding to the french ..... it’s not going to happen

France don’t want them either

According to Brexiters the UK has taken back control of it borders. So why are whining that France should protect the UK border.

Apparently we pay France to stop this at their end, money for old rope, they are doing a crap job

I understand why someone would leave Yemen however they were safe once they left and could enter Turkey,Greece,Italy,Spain,Germany. ANYONE arriving on our shores from the eu should be returned to the EU.

They'll be on benefits soon
