A £100 million investment by the UK Government aims to intensify the crackdown on criminal gangs involved in dangerous small boat crossings. The funding will enhance the capabilities of the Border Security Command, the National Crime Agency (NCA), and police for dismantling smuggling networks both domestically and internationally. This investment will support hiring additional NCA officers, improve surveillance technology and intelligence tools, and implement a UK-France pilot returns agreement. It emphasizes international cooperation, tougher enforcement, and new powers from the forthcoming Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill.
