APPG on Migration member Tony Vaughan KC MP shared his reflections from the APPG visit to France during a BBC South East interview. He noted that UK–France cooperation on migration has significantly improved in both scale and quality, marking a clear shift from previous years.
I visited Calais last week along with a group of MPs to talk to the French authorities about the new “taxi boat” smuggling tactic. I was astonished by how the smuggling operation functions like organised crime or the mafia: well-resourced, complex and multinational. (1/3)

An update following a very interesting visit to Calais yesterday about migration and small boats
Thank you to Chris for chairing and to Luke for sharing insights. The event explored how to have more constructive conversations about immigration–a key priority raised by members at our inaugural meeting, where they discussed the challenges of effective engagement on this issue.
Really interesting to chair a great discussion with @LukeTryl @Moreincommon_ about public attitudes to migration, organised by the @APPGMigration in Parliament today.
