(BBC) The UK and Turkey have agreed a new deal to disrupt people-smuggling gangs and tackle illegal migration.
The partnership includes a “centre of excellence” in Turkey to strengthen collaboration and increase intelligence-sharing between enforcement agencies.
The government said it would help to disrupt the supply chain of small boats parts through Europe.
But it does not include a deal to return failed Turkish asylum seekers.
Immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who visited Turkey last month, said the partnership was backed by some funding but he would not say how much, telling GB News it was “not primarily about money” but sharing information.
