Extra sniffer dogs and fencing will be sent to France, and Ministry of Defence land will be used to ease congestion to try to help deal with the Calais migrant crisis, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
Speaking in Downing St after chairing a meeting of the Cobra emergency committee, Mr Cameron said the situation was "unacceptable" and that he will be speaking to French president Francois Hollande later today.
Mr Cameron said: "This is going to be a difficult issue right across the summer.
"I will have a team of senior ministers who will be working to deal with it, and we rule nothing out in taking action to deal with this very serious problem.
