(BBC) More migrants crossed the English Channel by boat on Tuesday.
Six boats carrying 132 people were intercepted mid-Channel by the UK Border Force, in sea conditions described by the Coastguard as smooth and slight, with good visibility.
The bank holiday weekend saw 568 people make the crossing, according to the Home Office.
The Home Office said French authorities also prevented seven further crossings, involving 36 people.
BBC reporter Simon Jones described seeing a small boat with 12 people on board being followed by a French vessel until it reached UK waters.
