UK’s migrant Channel crossings plan: Reaction from Calais to London
Refugees in Calais and a charity in London give their reaction to the UK Government’s Illegal Migration Bill.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is confident that this proposal, one of his five priorities for government, will deter those seeking to enter the UK by unauthorised means.
