Are more small boats being stopped by French police?
By Tamara Kovacevic and Lucy GilderBBC Verify
Health Secretary Steve Barclay has defended the government's progress in stopping small boats carrying migrants from crossing the English Channel .

The Home Office in January 2023 and said that the French authorities prevented 33,000 crossings in 2022, which was an increase of More Than 40% on The Number of crossings prevented in 2021.
But the government told us that this data refers to individual people prevented from crossing the Channel, not boats as Mr Barclay stated.
The Home Office also confirmed to us that the French authorities intercepted 1,381 boats in 2022. We have asked for comparable figures for 2021, but have Not Yet seen them.
While The Number of interceptions increased between 2021 and 2022, the proportion of people stopped from crossing fell slightly: 43% of people who attempted to cross the Channel in small boats were stopped in 2022, compared with approximately 50% the year before, a Home Office official's evidence to MPs.
