UK to urge France to crack down on migrant crossings
Quote:
The UK will press French authorities to crack down on migrants attempting to cross the Channel in small boats, ministers have pledged.
A record number of unaccompanied children arrived in the UK on Friday.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said the government was also considering how to use "maritime assets" in order to prevent crossings.
And, writing in the Daily Telegraph, Immigration Minister Chris Philp said migrants should be fingerprinted.
However, it is unclear what the proposal will amount to, as the fingerprints of asylum seekers are already stored under the European Eurodac system.
Mr Philp said migrants would know "they face real consequences if they try to cross again", and added he would "negotiate hard" with French officials about how to deal with the crossings.

This seems to be a big problem. How are the conditions more concrete when the UK is not in the EU?
