Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much of the £3.6 million offered to the French government for support relating to migration she plans will fund (a) support facilities in migrant camps and (b) security presence within such camps.

On 24 October the Home Secretary announced a financial contribution of up to £36m to support the French humanitarian operation to clear the camp in Calais. This funding will be used to maintain the security of the juxtaposed controls, support the clearance of the Calais camp and ensure it remains closed. As the Home Secretary made clear, this contribution is not unconditional, and we continue to work with the French Government on their plans to ensure that the clearance operation is full and lasting.
