Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel who are not intercepted by Border Force.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
On a daily basis, the Home Office publishes data on the number of small boats crossing the Channel that have been involved in uncontrolled landings. The latest such publication, and a time series dating back to 2018, can be found at: Small boat activity in the English Channel - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
