The Home Office response to soaring numbers of migrants entering the UK across the English Channel is "poor," a report has found.

The report by Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI), David Neal, found the "ineffective and inefficient" Home Office response has exposed gaps in security procedures and left vulnerable migrants at risk.

In 2021, 28,526 people arrived on the south coast in small boats, according to Home Office statistics, an increase from 236 in 2018.

An inspection of the Tug Haven and Western Jet Foil processing facilities, both in Dover, found the Government response to the challenge of the increasing numbers was poor, particularly in terms of systems, processes and resources.
