Regarding the Migrant deaths in the Channel, the cause of the ‘accident’ remains unknown, but when the long inflatable boat the migrants were using was found by rescuers it was mostly deflated. Mr Darmanin described the boat as a dinghy that was “extremely fragile”. He said “it was like a pool you blow up in your garden”. It is the kind of boat often used by people smuggling networks to get migrants across the channel, and has now been sent to Lille to be examined. French police say the boat set out from the Dunkirk area, east of Calais.
