It came as Britain and France committed to stopping 100 per cent of migrant crossings — but could not say when.

Home Secretary Priti Patel and counterpart Gérald Darmanin also agreed to ramp up new technology.

Borders minister Damian Hinds told LBC: “We welcome France’s commitment but we need to step up and do more.”
