The Home Office is giving £100m of extra funding to support the pilot of the new “one in, one out” returns agreement between the UK and France and other efforts to crack down on small boat crossings.
It will also include cash for up to 300 more National Crime Agency officers and new technology and equipment to step up intelligence-gathering on smuggling gangs.
There will be more overtime for immigration compliance and enforcement teams, as well as funding for interventions in transit countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
