More than a thousand people crossed the English Channel in small boats on Friday as the Government sent a third person back to France.
The number of people making the crossing underlined the scale of the challenge facing Sir Keir Starmer's government as it battles to get a grip on the crisis.
The latest Home Office figures showed 1,072 made the journey in 13 boats.
It takes the number of people who have made the crossing so far in 2025 to 32,103 - a record for this point in a year.
Ministers hope the 'one in, one out' deal with France will act as a deterrent, showing migrants they face being sent back if they travel across the Channel.
