Two more barges will be used to house asylum seekers as part of continued efforts to reduce Channel crossings, Rishi Sunak has announced.

The Prime Minister declined to say where they will be moored, but said they will have the capacity for an extra 1,000 migrants who enter the UK illegally.

The government has already acquired one ship, the Bibby Stockholm, which will be used to provide accommodation for about 500 men, who are seeking asylum, off the Dorset coast.
