This morning at about 9am, 8 illegal entrants motored into Britain. This is the dinghy they arrived in. This is the reality of the small boats crossings. Only when migrants and traffickers alike know that they will be stopped and returned will these journeys come to an end.

Vital that strong action is taken to combat the people traffickers’ illegal trade & put a stop to these dangerous journeys across the English Channel. The best way to stop these journeys is a UK/France agreement that anyone found in the Channel should be returned safely to France

Last year there were nearly 1900 small boat arrivals to the UK. In 2020 this needs to come to an end. The best way to end these dangerous crossings is to ensure that anyone found in the English Channel is returned to the safety of France.

If the French won’t stop the small boats then we need to. By turning boats back, making returns and taking firm control of our borders. I fully support emergency legislation to do that, if that is needed. This needs a fresh approach urgently.

Illegal entrants should be returned to France - the best way to stop this is for migrants and traffickers to know they will not succeed. During the pandemic public health must be the priority. If return is not possible, 14 days quarantine should be mandatory.

Since December I have been calling on the Home Secretary to ensure small boats are returned to France and that we put an end to these illegal small boat crossings organised by criminal gangs.

Ending the small boats crisis will be a key priority for Britain’s next Prime Minister. Looking at the current race from the Dover front line it’s clear to me that Penny Mordaunt has the most practical plan. My article in @thetimes Red Box today #PM4PM

Greatly welcome that @patel4witham is working with France to seek more small boat returns. When traffickers and illegal migrants know they will not succeed and will be returned, they will stop trying to break into Britain.

Today there is an amendment before Parliament proposed by @DianaJohnsonMP to support people affected by the contaminated bloods scandal. I hope the Government will accept it - but if not, I will support this amendment to ensure that fair compensation is swiftly received.
