Ministers unveil plan to reduce Channel migrants as numbers hit record 40,000

Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said the plan will include measures to cut the use of hotels to house migrants arriving on the beaches of Kent after making the perilous crossing from France. Ministers are understood to be looking at using large sites like holiday parks, student accommodation blocks, or even cruise ships to house migrants.

Meanwhile, home secretary Suella Braverman is expected to announce the conclusion of a new deal with Paris, which will see the UK pay £60m to increase the number of patrols on French beaches. For the first time, British Border Force officials are expected to be stationed in joint control centres on French soil to observe operations and share live intelligence.
