It comes as Border Force patrols picked up another boat carrying 13 migrants today, taking the total who have reached British shores to 601 so far this month, with 57 migrants arriving on five boats yesterday and 64 on Wednesday. The small boat was picked up off the Kent coast at around 2.14am, with the Coastguard fixed-wing aircraft scrambled along with the Dungeness lifeboat and Border Force vessel Hunter. French authorities also stopped another boat from travelling across the Channel. At least 1,121 migrants have now crossed to the UK on small boats since the coronavirus lockdown was announced, according to data.
