The UK will pay France €900 million over three years to reduce small boat crossings across the English Channel, with funding partly dependent on results. The plan includes more patrol officers, surveillance, and enforcement, as crossings and deaths remain high despite existing measures. The deal comes ahead of UK elections, where immigration is a key issue and public opinion remains divided.
