Immigration minister Robert Jenrick says government will do ‘whatever is required’ to stop crossings
A senior UK cabinet minister has signalled the government may be prepared to leave the European convention on human rights (ECHR) if it will help the UK tackle the problem of migrants arriving on small boats crossing the Channel.
Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, said the government will do “whatever is required”, even if that means pulling out of the ECHR, the 70-year-old pan-European treaty that protects human rights and political freedoms in the continent.
