UK GOVT UNVEILS ILLEGAL MIGRATION PLANS

The UK government says it's going to ensure a 'surge' in deportation flights of people in the UK illegally.

It's part of plans to tackle illegal migration, including 100 new intelligence officers to disrupt people smuggling gangs.

More beds will be added to immigration removal centres, as the government promises to reduce 'chaos' in the asylum system.

The opposition Conservatives say the plans won't make the required impact.

Steve Smith from refugee charity Care4Calais says more safe routes to apply for asylum are needed.
