YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Minister for Skills Baroness Jacqui Smith believes "considerable progress" has been made over illegal migration this summer.

Commenting on Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's statement on immigration in the Commons, she said: "What she was also able to report on was considerable progress and action over the summer, whether or not the signing of the agreement with France.

"And of course, we've already detained people who've come here from France. We will be returning them in the next few weeks."
