(BBC) Almost 100 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats on Monday, the Home Office has confirmed.
Some 96 people crossed in three boats, with the French authorities preventing one boat with 56 people on board from making the journey.
The number of people who crossed the English Channel in small boats last year was treble the number for 2020.
Figures compiled by the BBC show at least 28,431 migrants made the journey in 2021.
This was despite huge UK investment in France to prevent crossings.
