More than 700 migrants crossed
More than 700 migrants crossed the Channel on the day two people died attempting the journey – the highest number of daily crossings since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister.
The Home Office recorded 703 people arriving in the UK on Sunday in 11 boats, suggesting an average of 64 people per boat.
It comes as two people died in French waters while trying to cross the Channel, with others on board the boat understood to have been rescued and taken back to France.
French authorities are said to be leading the investigation into the deaths.
The latest crossings taking the provisional total for the year so far to 18,342 and mark the single highest day of arrivals so far under Sir Keir’s Labour Government.
This is 13% higher than this time last year (16,170) but 3% lower than the total at this stage in 2022 (18,978).
