Talks on cross-Channel immigration
Updated on 05 July 2009
Plans for a crackdown on illegal cross-Channel immigration are being discussed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy at an Anglo-French summit.
The UK hopes the meeting, in the French town of Evian-les-Bains, will secure a deal for the UK to help with detection technology to counter people smuggling, sources said.
The immigration issue was thrust back into the spotlight last week when the United Nations refugee agency opened an office in Calais to deal with around 1,600 migrants trying to get to the UK.
