Downing Street has said that it expects “good progress” when French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Britain to deal with the small boats crossing the channel.
The issue is a major point of discussion during Macron’s visit to Macron, and on Tuesday, the government said that it expects the new powers that the French police would be allowed to “operate” soon before reaching the open water.
The Prime Minister’s spokesperson refused to say whether “one, one” would be agreed during the French President’s visit on the migrant return deal.
But the spokesperson said that the months of conversation between Prime Minister Sir Kir Stmper and Macron were “fruit bearing”.
The spokesperson said, “We constantly talk, and keep in constant contact with the French as to how our joint action can go ahead to end the grief that these gangs are going beyond our borders.”
The Prime Minister is pressurizing to create the focal point of a new agreement with France to make “one, one, one out”.
This system will allow Britain to reach France by small boat in exchange for accepting shelter seekers with family relations in Britain.
Its purpose will be to display those who consider dangerous crossings that they can end directly in France, hoping that it would stop them.
But any such exchange will have to be in large numbers to become an effective preventive.
This type of deal would be a major success as it would be the first clear indication of French desire to withdraw the migrants who cross the channel.
But this week optimism is very worthy of a deal of a deal in favor of Britain.
Downing Street is in separate interaction with the European Commission, which is to overcome a group deal of five Mediterranean countries, who have complained that they can be forced to accept deported people from the UK.
Sir Keer is also emphasizing to modify his rules for France to allow the police to intervene when the boats are in shallow water, rather than that they are still on the ground.
Last week The BBC noticed that French officials use a knife to puncture an inflatable boat This is after launching a clear change of strategy.
Asked about the strategy, a spokesperson for a Downing Street said: “French is now looking to bring an important new strategy to stop the boats that occur in the water, and we are hoping that it will be operated soon.
“We are the first government to have compromised with the French to review their maritime strategy to interfere with their border enforcement teams.
“It is operational and legally complex, but we are working closely with French.”
Since coming to power in July last year, Labor has announced several measures to deal with people smuggling, including a new criminal offense to endanger the lives of others in the sea.
The legislation going through Parliament has set a plan to use the counter-terraler power against smugglers-with suspects facing the TRAVAL BAN, Social-Media Blackout and phone restrictions.
But the latest data shows that 2025 made a new record for the arrival of small boat in the first six months of the first year, as the data was first collected in 2018.
Between January and June, around 20,000 people crossed the English channel in small boats and reached Britain – up to 48% compared to the same period in 2024.
Britain has repeatedly pushed France to tighten patrolling along its northern coast. Since 2018 The UK has promised more than £ 700 meters for France To promote coastal patrol and buy monitoring gear.
Most of it comes from the 2023 deal Killed under previous orthodox government To help additional authorities to help prevent migrants crossing the channel in small boats to give France about £ 500 meters in three years.
Asked whether the UK, as conservatives suggested, should demand a refund, a Downing Street spokesman said “Under this government, we have achieved an important ramping of operating capabilities from French law enforcement”.
