Dover: Over 700 people crossed the Channel on Saturday

The Home Office said 707 people crossed the English Channel in small boats on Saturday, the fourth highest daily total so far this year.

The total number of arrivals for 2024 now stands at 24,335. The highest number of people who have made the crossing in a single day was 882 on 18 June.

More than 10,000 people have made the journey across the Channel since Labour won the election in July.

The government said it is making progress in its bid to stop the crossings, having recruited former police chief Martin Hewitt as its new Border Security Commander.
