Footage captured by Sky News has shown a boat carrying migrants as it attempts to cross the Channel to reach the UK.
On the day the government’s Rwanda bill is being debated in the Commons, the footage shows a packed blue dinghy floundering as it makes its way across the Channel.
It comes after five people were found dead on Sunday after migrants attempted to cross from northern France on a boat.
The boat was spotted in difficulty off a beach in the coastal village of Wimereux, according to French maritime authorities.
The five were recovered from the sea or found washed up along the beach.
