More now from cabinet minister Oliver Dowden, who is doing the media rounds this morning.
He said Rishi Sunak is “totally committed” to dealing with the issue of migrants crossing the Channel.
Mr Dowden told the BBC that there was no easy “panacea” but that voters were entitled to expect ministers to “grip” the problem.
“This is a totally deplorable situation. It is dangerous for the people concerned. It enriches (people trafficking) gangs. That is exactly why the prime minister is totally committed to gripping this,” he said.
“I do not dispute for a second that this situation has gone too far and why people are angry about it. Clearly we need to do more on this.
“The prime minister is totally seized of this to make sure that we work through each aspect of this to make sure that we start to control these numbers. I am not saying this is going to be easy at all.”
