Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Channel crossings by irregular migrants have taken place since 1 January 2025.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office publishes the number of Channel crossings on a daily basis. Since 1 April, the UK Border Force has continued to work with their French counterparts and other partners around the world to take action against the organised immigration crime groups responsible for the cross-Channel trade, disrupting their supply chains and dismantling their networks.
