LONDON: Migrants resumed attempts to cross the English Channel on Saturday, four weeks after the last small boat arrived.
The pause — believed to be due to poor weather conditions — is the longest in seven years.
Before the weekend, no vessels had reached the southern English coast for 28 days, according to interior ministry figures.
Migrants last arrived on the south coast from northern France on November 14.
Figures for how many arrived on Saturday, when a number of small boats were seen in the Channel, according to the PA news agency, will be released later.
