Irregular migration: A timeline of UK-French co-operation
UK-French co-operation over controls at their shared borders has been formalised through a series of bilateral agreements. Most recently, a declaration issued after the UK-France leaders' summit in March 2023 pledged to "drastically reduce" the number of Channel crossings year on year and included related financial commitments for the UK of around £476 million between 2023/24 and 2025/26.
