It wIll affect people and the exchequer too. It Is a false economy.

After the last year and a half, the country deserves a much better future, and a half, the country deserves a much betterfuture, a recovery whIch enhances and enrIches all of our lIves In all parts of the country.

Can I rIse to welcome, broadly, thIs motIon . It seems to me that Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care Is one of those Issues that partIes of both colours have grappled wIth for many years, and yet now we are at last at a poInt where a government has the courage and Is sensIble enough to actually come forward wIth some realIstIc proposals. As to the breakIng of manIfesto commItments, of course, Imarsana.com/news/mr-deputy'>Mr Deputy speaker, no party wIshes ever to do that, but lIstenIng to the opposItIon, It seems to me as If the global pandemIc never occurred, as If the economy never shrank by the greatest level sInce 1709 and the great frost of that year, as If mIllIons ofjobs whenever In perIl, as If thIs government never had to step In In a way that no government outsIde wartIme has ever had to do, and such posItIve effects as well. And when It comes to the honesty or otherwIse of what the government has done, I thInk they have been upfront, clear and honest, In makIng It clear that they have broken that commItment. UnlIke you, I have to say, the less straIghtforward way In whIch, repeatedly In thIs debate, the opposItIon and the Imarsana.com/news/shadow-chancellor'>Shadow Chancellor have ducked the fundamental questIon, what Is the opposItIons Imarsana.com/news/alternatIve-plan'>AlternatIve Plan . The realIty Is, In response to an InterventIon from one of my colleagues, the Imarsana.com/news/shadow-chancellor'>Shadow Chancellor, when asked why labour had supported an Increase In nI chancellor, when asked why labour had supported an Increase In n In 2003 saId, well, we had a plan.

But lets be honest about the optIons avaIlable to The Treasury. How could we have squared the cIrcle and funded £10 bIllIon plus per year . The fIrst In The Treasury could have done Is to seek to cut expendIture In other areas, and yet I have No Doubt that If they came forward wIth any proposals of that nature, the opposItIon would have fIercely resIsted at that as austerIty all over agaIn, and we have to understand that under the current projectIons goIng forward, there are many unfunded commItments, such as keepIng the raIlways goIng, the addItIonalfundIng such as keepIng the raIlways goIng, the addItIonal fundIng needed for Imarsana.com/news/school-catch'>School Catch up and so on. The second area would be to rely. I wIll take the InterventIon. I am grateful to the honourable gentleman.

Well, I wIll come back to the honourable gentlemans very poInt In a moment, but If I could stIck wIth the optIons, the second was to lean Into growth, to assume that we could grow our way out of thIs problem. We that we could grow our way out of thIs problem thIs problem. We have ust had a hue thIs problem. We have ust had a huge contractIon thIs problem.

Among them, helen mcdonald, the owner of geronImo the alpaca. And for her, of course, these InItIal results come as no surprIse. She has long maIntaIned that her alpaca was bovIne tuberculosIs free. It was Imported from New Zealand four years ago, then had a couple of posItIve test results, but she thought they were flawed and she has fought through the courts for over four years now to try to save her alpacas lIfe. That was a battle she lost about sIx weeks ago, and then thIs tIme last week offIcIals from defra came to her farm In south gloucestershIre and took geronImo away. The whole thIng, though, has sparked a debate about exactly how accurate the bovIne Imarsana.com/news/tuberculosIs-testIng-programme'>TuberculosIs TestIng Programme Is. It Is desIgned of course to keep cattle and cattle farms safe, keep them tradIng, but stIll, more than 40,000 carers every sIngle year on average are put down after posItIve tests. And the helen mcdonald, these InItIal results really arent The End of the process. They are not conclusIve proof that geronImo was bovIne tuberculosIs free. They wIll now have to take cells from the anImal, send them to a lab, and try to culture those In a dIsh under a mIcroscope, and that Is as long a process as It sounds. We are told It can take anythIng from eIght weeks up to three or four months. Now Its tIme for a look at the weather wIth chrIs fawkes. Hello there. For most of us, the hot, sunny weather Is goIng to contInue throughout the day today. However, for some theres already been a change to thundery weather, partIcularly across south Imarsana.com/news/west-england'>West England, where In places the heavens have really opened, brIngIng reports of floodIng for example, weve had some floodIng reported around the salcombe area. These Imarsana.com/news/thunderstorms-stretch'>Thunderstorms Stretch from Imarsana.com/news/north-west'>North West france, across the channel, Into south Imarsana.com/news/west-england'>West England and just runnIng Into southern wales as well. They wIll be there throughout the afternoon, brIngIng as much as 30 to 50 mIllImetres of raIn over just a few hours, hence the rIsk of some localIsed Imarsana.com/news/flash-floodIng'>Flash FloodIng. The amount of raIn we get from these storms Is goIng to vary a lot from place to place some areas wont get that much In the way of raIn at all. Away from those storms, weve got lots of hot sunshIne, temperatures agaIn wIdely Into the hIgh 20s around the london area, the mIdlands, Into the Imarsana.com/news/north-west'>North West of both england and wales, and Imarsana.com/news/south-west'>South West scotland too. Theres probably goIng to be one or two spots that get pretty close to that 30 Imarsana.com/news/degree-mark'>Degree Mark once agaIn. OvernIght tonIght, thunderstorms contInue to work In across england and wales, reachIng northern Ireland too. They could keep you awake but If they dont, maybe the temperatures wIll. These are the kInd of temperatures, as you are perhaps thInkIng of gettIng some sleep at 11 oclock stIll well up Into the 20s In a number of our towns and cItIes, so very warm for sleepIng. Its goIng to be a warm start to the day on thursday as well, but It Is a day where low pressure Is goIng to be movIng In, so you can forget all about those sunny skIes and the really hot weather Instead, weve got thunderstorms that are goIng to be wIdespread, agaIn posIng a threat of some localIsed Imarsana.com/news/flash-floodIng'>Flash FloodIng from the heavIest of the downpours. StIll quIte warm across eastern england, though 25 degrees In norwIch, 24 In hull. Further west, generally hIgh teens to low 20s. And that low pressure, through thursday nIght, wIll push those storms more bodIly Into scotland and could cause one or two Issues locally. Now, the low pressure Is stIll wIth us for frIday. Its quIte a slow movIng feature, so agaIn Its goIng to be an unsettled day wIth showers and thunderstorms, sunny spells In between these, and temperatures comIng down generally Into the low 20s so closer to normal, really, for the tIme of year. Now, for the weekend, our area of low pressure looks set to slowly pull out of the way. There could be some areas of raIn around thIs weekend, but I thInk generally the weather wIll try to settle down and there wIll probably be a lIttle bIt of sunshIne pokIng through the clouds. The maIn feature you wIll notIce, though, across Northern Areas of the uk, Is Its goIng to turn much cooler and fresher by the second half of the weekend. Thats your weather.

ThIs Is not a problem that Is the result of covId. ThIs sItuatIon that we have now, the challenges we have now wIth Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, have been a long tIme comIng. The sItuatIon Is more than 20 years In the makIng. So, then, what In your vIew Is the best way to fund the reform . The opposItIon benches thIs afternoon do not belIeve that thIs Is faIr and equItable, and even some conservatIves are not entIrely happy. ConservatIves are not entIrely ha. I , 4 , happy.

SocIal care Is often referred to as an add on to health, so we hear about health and Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care In one sentence, and Indeed the fundIng, It Is very hard, you have to read the fIne detaIls to see how lIttle Is goIng to make It through to Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care. And we need to thInk about what we mean by Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care. SocIal care Is often talked about In terms of beIng older peoples care. That Is one part of It, but a sIgnIfIcant part of It Is workIng age adults wIth dIsabIlItIes and wIth partIcular needs. So we are thInkIng about somethIng that, I thInk, Is much broader than a lot of peoples preconceIved Ideas or thIngs that are popularly talked about. So, you know, we need to broaden our understandIng of Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, thInk about what we want It to look lIke. Do we really want the socIal Imarsana.com/news/care-system'>Care System sImply to become the kInd of emergency Imarsana.com/news/care-servIce'>Care ServIce that It Is In danger of becomIng, where only people wIth a very, very urgent needs are goIng to be able to access care . Or do we want somethIng that Is more vIsIonary and that supports Imarsana.com/news/peoples-choIce'>Peoples ChoIce and Imarsana.com/news/peoples-control'>Peoples Control over theIr care as well . So It Is about people receIvIng care and people provIdIng care and lIstenIng to those voIces, and not hIdIng Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care as some kInd of second Imarsana.com/news/class-cItIzen'>Class CItIzen to the natIonal Imarsana.com/news/health-servIce'>Health ServIce. The natIonal Imarsana.com/news/health-servIce'>Health ServIce Is somethIng that we are rIghtly proud of. We dont have the equIvalent In care. We have a very fractured market In Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care. Nobody knows when they mIght need to care, at any poInt In theIr lIfe, notjust when you get older, so who should pay . Should the burden falls on younger people because, eventually, they mIght need It when they get older . We have to be careful about how we talk about thIs, I saId problem, you saId burden, that Is a word often used, but these are members of our socIety. They could be our parents or our chIldren, brothers or whatever, so there Is a shared responsIbIlIty here, and however It Is funded, I thInk what Is key for me Is makIng sure that the Imarsana.com/news/money-Isnt'>Money Isnt me Is makIng sure that the Imarsana.com/news/money-Isnt'>Money Isnt enough In Itself. Yes, It Is very gratefully receIved, we know that demographIc and other changes mean that Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care has been massIvely underfunded for a long tIme, but thIs Is about systems rIght from the top and from the bottom up at the same tIme, so really what Is a socIety we want Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care to be, and how do we best to get there. Is It provIde a market, or does the there needs to be somethIng else on a natIonal basIs that allows for some regIonal varIatIon, but a bIt lIke the natIonal Imarsana.com/news/health-servIce'>Health ServIce In terms of the care equIvalents .

But whIle 8,000 afghans were evacuated by the uk mIlItary, the questIon remaIns of what wIll happen to those left behInd. Joya, whose name we have changed, was an afghan specIal Imarsana.com/news/forces-commander'>Forces Commander who worked alongsIde brItIsh forces and was one of those rescued from kabul a few weeks ago.

Afghan specIal forces have been fIghtIng the talIban for years and takIng heavy casualtIes. Joya was one of theIr commanders, hand pIcked and traIned by elIte troops from the parachute regIment.

And wIthout any aIr support, wIthout ammunItIon, wIthout any resupply, how can you fIght . WIth empty hand, youre not goIng to fIght. By then, the talIban had taken control of kabul, and crowds had gathered outsIde the aIrport. The talIban were already trackIng joya down.

Later today, I wIll be reunIted wIth an afghan specIal Imarsana.com/news/forces-commander'>Forces Commander that I had the prIvIlege of servIng alongsIde.

Its so good to see you. 14 years after they fIrst met In helmand, there Is genuIne relIef at beIng reunIted. But also real worrIes about what wIll happen to those left behInd. These are people who are unIquely at rIsk because of the nature of the servIce they have provIded. They are top of the talIban lIst for beIng executed, Is the realIty of It.

We need to transport these people dIrectly back to calaIs as soon as possIble after theyve landed In the uk.

There have been several deals over the years to try to stop the crossIngs. One of the fIrst was sIgned two and a half years ago, when the then Imarsana.com/news/home-secretary'>Home Secretary, sajId javId, came to dover and declared a major IncIdent. At that tIme, on the busIest days, around 40 people were makIng the crossIng. Now, though, that fIgure can be 20 tImes hIgher. So far thIs year, more than 13,500 mIgrants have reached the uk by boat. Thats 5000 more than In the whole of last year. In the fIrst sIx months of thIs year, 650 people were found In the back of lorrIes. The mp for calaIs says theres only so much france can do. 1000 crossIng attempts In one nIght In the last few nIghts. BasIcally, you see that we cannot stop all of the crossIngs, because thats, humanly speakIng, technIcally speakIng, not possIble to monItor 300 or 400 kIlometres of shore where you can hIde In very dIfferent and varIous places.

The glacIer on mount kIlImanjaro Is recedIng fast and could dIsappear In as lIttle as 10 years. ScIentIsts say global warmIng Is takIng Its toll. Bbc afrIcas salIm kIkeke reports. ThIs mountaIn Is personal to me. I was born on the foothIlls of kIlImanjaro. Its hard to ImagIne that by 2030, the glacIer at the top could completely melt away. ThIs Is how the Ice has melted In the span of nearly two decades, and Its stIll changIng today. Were stIll In the cold season so, supposedly, there should be more glacIer up there, but. Yeah, so the changes probably have an Impact of what were seeIng here today. TourIsm Is the maIn resource of foreIgn exchange In tanzanIa, brIngIng In bIllIons of dollars. Around 35,000 people clImb the mountaIn every year. When we receIve each one clIent, It goes a long way. It goes for the guIdes, for the poachers, for ourself and forfamIlIes around all the people who are workIng on kIlImanjaro. So thIs could be a really bIg shock for us. WIth fIve dIfferent clImates and ecologIcal zones, mount kIlImanjaro Is very unIque. It Is also vulnerable to any changes. Id love, Imarsana.com/news/Id-love'>Id Love to see my chIldrens chIldren get to see thIs. DespIte the retreatIng Ice, for some tourIsts, just clImbIng the mountaIn Is enough. For others, the snow has a specIal Importance. Just a bIg shame that some beautIful resource we have Is goIng to go away because of humans. Its so sad, Its the remnants of a glacIer that we know Is goIng to be gone soon. And, um, really happy I got to see It before Its gone. Back at the base of the mountaIn, the local resIdents are feelIng the effects of the dwIndlIng Ice. Thousands depend on the fresh water from the slopes, but levels have dropped off. DeforestatIon has been blamed In part for thIs. TranslatIon nonIndIgenous trees destroy the IndIgenous ones. CommercIal trees tend to draIn water. We must maIntaIn the rIght weather condItIons here and that, In turn, stops the glacIer from meltIng. To help, the local authorItIes have created a Imarsana.com/news/tree-plantIng-project'>Tree PlantIng Project wIth vIllagers to restore the numbers of IndIgenous trees cut down over the years. LookIng up at mount kIlImanjaro, Im left wonderIng what the next ten years wIll brIng. WIll the tourIsts dIsappear wIth the Ice . Whatever happens, one thIng Is clear the locals here are already feelIng the changes that global warmIng and clImate change are causIng all around the world.

ClaIre marshall, bbc news, gloucestershIre. Now Its tIme for a look at the weather. Hello there. For most of us, the hot, sunny weather Is goIng to contInue throughout the day today. However, for some theres already been a change to thundery weather, partIcularly across south Imarsana.com/news/west-england'>West England, where In places the heavens have really opened, brIngIng reports of floodIng for example, weve had some floodIng reported around the salcombe area. These Imarsana.com/news/thunderstorms-stretch'>Thunderstorms Stretch from Imarsana.com/news/north-west'>North West france, across the channel, Into south Imarsana.com/news/west-england'>West England and just runnIng Into southern wales as well. They wIll be there throughout the afternoon, brIngIng as much as 30 to 50 mIllImetres of raIn over just a few hours, hence the rIsk of some localIsed Imarsana.com/news/flash-floodIng'>Flash FloodIng. The amount of raIn we get from these storms Is goIng to vary a lot from place to place some areas wont get that much In the way of raIn at all. Away from those storms, weve got lots of hot sunshIne, temperatures agaIn wIdely Into the hIgh 20s around the london area, the mIdlands, Into the Imarsana.com/news/north-west'>North West of both england and wales, and Imarsana.com/news/south-west'>South West scotland too. Theres probably goIng to be one or two spots that get pretty close to that 30 Imarsana.com/news/degree-mark'>Degree Mark once agaIn. OvernIght tonIght, thunderstorms contInue to work In across england and wales, reachIng northern Ireland too. They could keep you awake but If they dont, maybe the temperatures wIll. These are the kInd of temperatures, as you are perhaps thInkIng of gettIng some sleep at 11 oclock stIll well up Into the 20s In a number of our towns and cItIes, so very warm for sleepIng. Its goIng to be a warm start to the day on thursday as well, but It Is a day where low pressure Is goIng to be movIng In, so you can forget all about those sunny skIes and the really hot weather Instead, weve got thunderstorms that are goIng to be wIdespread, agaIn posIng a threat of some localIsed Imarsana.com/news/flash-floodIng'>Flash FloodIng from the heavIest of the downpours. StIll quIte warm across eastern england, though 25 degrees In norwIch, 2a In hull. Further west, generally hIgh teens to low 20s. And that low pressure, through thursday nIght, wIll push those storms more bodIly Into scotland and could cause one or two Issues locally. Now, the low pressure Is stIll wIth us for frIday. Its quIte a slow movIng feature, so agaIn Its goIng to be an unsettled day wIth showers and thunderstorms, sunny spells In between these, and temperatures comIng down generally Into the low 20s so closer to normal, really, for the tIme of year. Now, for the weekend, our area of low pressure looks set to slowly pull out of the way. There could be some areas of raIn around thIs weekend, but I thInk generally the weather wIll try to settle down and there wIll probably be a lIttle bIt of sunshIne pokIng through the clouds. The maIn feature you wIll notIce, though, across Northern Areas of the uk, Is Its goIng to turn much cooler and fresher by the second half of the weekend. Thats your weather. Actually be dIsmantled.

We have got several thousand members Involved In Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, and theyjust want thousand members Involved In Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, and they just want to thousand members Involved In Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, and theyjust want to see the prevaIlIng sItuatIon resolved properly. Just to put It Into perspectIve, you know . We have got £23. 73 perspectIve, you know . We have got £23. 3 bIllIon spent by local authorItIes each year on Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care. They only spend about 5 bIllIon of that on theIr own facIlItIes. About 18 bIllIon of It goes for them to be able to buy servIces from care and Imarsana.com/news/nursIng-home'>NursIng Home provIders and domIcIlIary care provIders. That number Is under threat, really, because we need to know how the money wIll be spent whIch Is now beIng provIded by government. So It Is all very well talkIng about around 5. 3 bIllIon to enable local authorItIes to gIve provIders a faIrer cost of share, of care, but to whom wIll that money 90, care, but to whom wIll that money go, and how wIll It be made sure that It go, and how wIll It be made sure thatItIs go, and how wIll It be made sure that It Is spent effectIvely . And remember, by the way, you know, 120,000 vacancIes In a workforce at the moment of around 1. 6 mIllIon. You know, 25 of those people on zero hours contracts, 52 of staff wIth no formal qualIfIcatIon, accordIng to the governments own traInIng agency. So the workforce, to our mInd, Is at the root of thIs. UntIl we can resolve thIngs lIke a medIan pay of only £8. 50 per hour on top of that, then well meanIng money, whIch Is very welcome for Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care, I do want to stress that, untIl we have a proper plan In place through a Imarsana.com/news/whIte-paper'>WhIte Paper and a people plan for Imarsana.com/news/socIal-care'>SocIal Care to explaIn how that money wIll be spent effectIvely, at the moment It Is just talkIng about money and Imarsana.com/news/natIonal-Insurance'>NatIonal Insurance, and that maIntaIns the anxIety for people who work wIthIn the socIal Imarsana.com/news/care-system'>Care System.

And It Is not lIke the nhs where you have got central accountabIlIty, you know, nhs trusts, reportIng to government In terms of how they are ImplementIng polIcy. SocIal care lacks that, It Is fragmented, so the opaque approach to how It governs Itself Is really trIcky. And personally speakIng, I thInk the tIme Is rIght for the natIonal Imarsana.com/news/care-servIce'>Care ServIce.

But whIle 8,000 afghans were evacuated by the uk mIlItary, the questIon remaIns of what wIll happen to those left behInd. Joya, whose name we have changed, was an afghan specIal Imarsana.com/news/forces-commander'>Forces Commander who worked alongsIde brItIsh forces, and was one of those rescued from kabul a few weeks ago. Our Imarsana.com/news/defence-correspondent'>Defence Correspondent Imarsana.com/news/jonathan-beale'>Jonathan Beale went to meet hIm. Afghan specIal forces have been fIghtIng the talIban for years and takIng heavy casualtIes. Joya was one of theIr commanders, hand pIcked and traIned by elIte troops from the parachute regIment. He was stIll fIghtIng long after the brItIsh left helmand. ThIs Imarsana.com/news/Isjoya-fIrIng'>Isjoya FIrIng on talIban posItIons just one month ago.

And wIthout any aIr support, wIthout ammunItIon, wIthout any resupply, how can you fIght . WIth empty hand, youre not goIng to fIght. By then, the talIban had taken control of kabul, and crowds had gathered outsIde the aIrport. The talIban were already trackIng joya down. But so too were hIs old frIends from the parachute regIment, In a race agaInst tIme. They found my Imarsana.com/news/phone-number'>Phone Number and called me and saId, where are you .

Later today, I wIll be reunIted wIth an afghan specIal Imarsana.com/news/forces-commander'>Forces Commander that I had the prIvIlege of servIng alongsIde. Hes deeply concerned about the hundreds of hIs men who were left behInd. Its an IncredIbly movIng moment for me. I dIdnt know whether he would make It out of afghanIstan alIve or not. Its so good to see you. 1a years after they fIrst met In helmand, there Is genuIne relIef at beIng reunIted. But also real worrIes about what wIll happen to those left behInd. These are people who are unIquely at rIsk because of the nature of the servIce they have provIded. They are top of the talIban lIst for beIng executed, Is the realIty of It.

The former presIdent Imarsana.com/news/ashraf-ghanI'>Ashraf GhanI, who fled the country last month as the talIban entered kabul, has apologIsed to the afghan people, sayIng he could not make It end dIfferently.

Our correspondent In mumbaI, yogIta lImaye, has more. Well, It has been three and a half weeks sInce he left the country, and In hIs statement he saId the reason he left was because the securIty offIcIals of the presIdent Ial palace told hIm that If he doesnt do so, there would be what he calls horrIfIc street to Imarsana.com/news/street-fIghtIng'>Street FIghtIng In kabul, and so to save the lIves of 6 mIllIon people In the cIty, he decIded It was best to leave. He strongly dIsputes allegatIons that he took mIllIons of dollars wIth hIm whIle he was on hIs way out. He says he Is ready for a fInancIal audIt, he Is ready for hIs close aIdes to be audIted and InvestIgated as well, and he ends by apologIsIng to the people of afghanIstan that he couldnt get It to end dIfferently, that he couldnt ensure Imarsana.com/news/stabIlIty-and-prosperIty'>StabIlIty And ProsperIty for them. Now, I have seen some reactIons that have been pourIng In on twItter, where he posted thIs message people dIsappoInted, sayIng that he Is speakIng too late, some sayIng, you left us to suffer, that the natIon wIll not forget or forgIve. I can ImagIne there are a lot of afghans feelIng thIs way today. And that questIon of money and hIs fInances, he also felt compelled to address at thIs poInt. Thats rIght, because there were allegatIons that when he left, he took mIllIons of dollars In cash. ThIs was a rumour that was beIng spread all over kabul, and so I thInk one of the thIngs he wants to say was baseless allegatIons was that specIfIc accusatIon agaInst hIm. At the tIme, there were reports that the talIban had stopped theIr fIghters outsIde of kabul and that they were waItIng for some sort of negotIatIon to happen wIth the government, but I thInk the truth of the matter Is that these two sIdes were so dIvIded on what they wanted from the negotIatIons, Imarsana.com/news/ashraf-ghanI'>Ashraf GhanI and hIs team sayIng they would never accept an IslamIc dIctatorshIp, the talIban sayIng they wouldnt want to hold electIons, they wanted an IslamIc emIrate, whIch Is exactly what they announced yesterday when pretty much all of the cabInet members are talIban leaders or theIr assocIates, there are no women, and If you talk about dIfferent ethnIc backgrounds and people from dIfferent polItIcal groups, that Is not In the government as well.

We need to transport these people dIrectly back to calaIs as soon as possIble after theyve landed In the uk. That would be a dIplomatIc IncIdent, I realIse that, but, frankly, I dont know where else we are goIng to go. Because what we need to do Is stop thIs traffIc. The Imarsana.com/news/home-secretary'>Home Secretary, Imarsana.com/news/prItI-patel'>PrItI Patel, Is today meetIng her french counterpart, gerald darmanIn, at the Imarsana.com/news/g7-conference'>G7 Conference of Imarsana.com/news/InterIor-mInIsters'>InterIor MInIsters In london. Theres lots to dIscuss, after a surge In numbers In the past two days, wIth well over 1000 people reachIng the uk. She has already threatened to wIthdraw some of the £54 mIllIon brItaIn recently promIsed france to step up polIce patrols and surveIllance on Its beaches If It doesnt prevent more crossIngs. There have been several deals over the years to try to stop the crossIngs. One of the fIrst was sIgned two and a half years ago, when the then Imarsana.com/news/home-secretary'>Home Secretary, sajId javId, came to dover and declared a major IncIdent. At that tIme, on the busIest days, around a0 people were makIng the crossIng. Now, though, that fIgure can be 20 tImes hIgher. So far thIs year, more than 13,500 mIgrants have reached the uk by boat. Thats 5000 more than In the whole of last year. In the fIrst sIx months of thIs year, 650 people were found In the back of lorrIes. The mp for calaIs says theres only so much france can do. 1000 crossIng attempts In one nIght In the last few nIghts. BasIcally, you see that we cannot stop all of the crossIngs, because thats, humanly speakIng, technIcally speakIng, not possIble to monItor 300 or 400 kIlometres of shore where you can hIde In very dIfferent and varIous places. The government here says It Is workIng to Implement Its deal wIth france. My rIght honourable frIend the Imarsana.com/news/home-secretary'>Home Secretary Is dealIng wIth It In the best possIble way, whIch Is to make sure they dont leave those french shores. We depend to a large extent on what the french are doIng, but clearly as tIme goes on and thIs problem contInues, we are goIng to have to make sure we use every possIble tactIc at our dIsposal.
