UK and France Small Boats Deal
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has finalized a landmark pact with her French counterparts to stop small boat arrivals.
The funding will support 50 additional riot police and a new detention center in Dunkirk designed to deport failed asylum seekers back to their home countries.
While the government hails the deal as 'good value for money,' humanitarian groups warn that the deterrence policies are unlikely to work and may push migrants into more dangerous routes.
The agreement comes as the UK faces growing pressure to resolve the ongoing migration crisis ahead of the next election.
