<table><tbody><tr><td><p>Much of the UK’s relationship with France on illegal migration
is governed by the Sandhurst Treaty, signed in January 2018. The Treaty provides for
joint cooperation to improve security infrastructure at the shared border in northern
France, to reduce illegal migration flows and to provide support to the most vulnerable.
This includes a programme of work to support access into asylum accommodation in France
and a Dublin Regulation Development Fund. The UK has committed a package of €50 million
to implement this work, which is overseen by the official UK-France Migration Committee.
Our two countries continue to undertake regular and routine ministerial and senior
official discussions regarding migration across our shared border and our cooperation
under the Sandhurst Treaty. However, the actions of French law enforcement on their
sovereign territory remain a domestic matter for the French Government and as such
the British Government is not consulted on their activities.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
