Despite recent images circulating on social media around the work of French law enforcement to prevent small boat crossings, they do not represent the full picture. Over 46,000 small boat Channel crossing attempts have been prevented since July 2024. The UK Government is bearing down on small boat crossings, with removals of small boat migrants at record levels and asylum claims down by 12%. The Home Secretary has signed a landmark new payment by results deal with France to boost enforcement action on beaches and put people smugglers behind bars. And almost 70,000 people who were here illegally have been removed or deported – an increase of 41% – and we are going further to remove the incentives that draw illegal migrants to this country.
