Ministers have approved giving Calais the 9ft-high "Ring of Steel" security fence that had been used at the Nato Summit, to help tackle the issue of migrants seeking to illegally board ferries and trucks bound for the UK.
The Home Office?s Immigration Minister, James Brokenshire, confirmed that tomorrow the UK is going to offer its "French partners" the fence as a replacement to the "inadequate fencing" the port currently has, which is "too easy for illegal immigrants to scale".
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he said that authorities would also ?like to establish secure parking areas where legitimate hauliers and travellers can wait without being hassled by would-be illegal immigrants.?
Two impenetrable steel walls were constructed to provide security at the convergence of world leaders at the two-day Nato Summit this week.
