Calais migrant crisis: UK and France to sign deal | |
(35 minutes later) | |
UK and French ministers will meet in Calais on Thursday to agree a new deal to tackle the migrant crisis there. | |
The proposed deal is expected to include more security around the site where thousands of migrants are living and moves to tackle people trafficking. | |
Home Secretary Theresa May and French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve will tour the Eurotunnel site and meet aid associations helping migrants. | |
They will also discuss humanitarian support for migrants. | |
Neither government has given details of what the deal will involve. | |
Thousands of migrants are living around Calais - many of them in the camp known as the Jungle - and each night hundreds attempt to reach the UK by breaching security around the port and Eurotunnel. | |
After the meeting with Mrs May, Mr Cazeneuve will travel to Berlin to meet his German counterpart for talks on Europe's migration policies. |
