The latest small boat arrivals come after the Prime Minister unveiled a one in, one out agreement at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday. Under the pilot scheme, for each migrant sent back across the English Channel an asylum seeker will be allowed to enter the UK from France under a legal route.

The Government has refused to set out figures on how many people will be covered by the proposals.
But reports have suggested it could be just 50 a week which pales in comparison to the weekly average this year of 782 small boat arrivals.
Some 21,117 migrants have made the crossing in 2025 in what is a record for this point in a year.
