🔴 'Small boats command' and Border Force officers in Albania will tackle Channel crisis, Rishi Sunak says
The UK will launch a new “small boats operational command” to tackle Channel crossings and deploy Border Force officers to Albania under Rishi Sunak’s plan to crack down on illegal immigration.
He said he would raise threshold of modern slavery to make it harder for asylum seekers to use existing rules to seek safety in the UK. He said the “only way” to enter the UK will be through “safe and legal routes” but said he planned to “introduce an annual quota” of the number of refugees that will be accepted, with the numbers set by Parliament.
He said the Government would “establish a new permanent unified small boats operational command”, bringing together “military and civilian capability and the National Crime Agency”.
