To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish a list of all the instances between 4 July 2024 and 14 October 2025 when 100 or more migrants have crossed the Channel in a single small boat, including (a) the date of the crossing, (b) the number of migrants on board and (c) the approximate dimensions of the boat.

Asked by:
Steve Barclay (Conservative)

There have been 5 occasions over this period where over 100 migrants have crossed the Channel in a single small boat. These are listed below.

Date	Number of persons onboard
13/08/2025	106
19/09/2025	102
19/09/2025	106
27/09/2025	125
08/10/2025	101

Information about the dimensions of boats is operationally sensitive, and its release could prejudice the interests of law enforcement.
